"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is sinking, the stock markets are collapsing, and the centralist Europe of the financial lobbies is falling apart, but the Danish Presidency has begun its term by promising total loyalty to the Commission’s plans to make the continent into an economic superstate.
Rather than focusing on implementing measures to safeguard the future of 500 million citizens, the Danish government has promised to be a faithful guard-dog of the Council’s euro-technocracy. There are also other passages I also do not agree with.
First of all, I cannot see how accelerating the EU enlargement process to include the Balkan States can be seen as a priority at the moment. There are other problems that need to be tackled immediately, before worrying about how to integrate countries affected by corruption and criminality into Europe.
Then there is Turkey. The Danish Government is pushing strongly for Turkey’s membership. Luckily Turkey is a long way from meeting the entry parameters set by the EU. However, the true paradox is that at a time when the euro is risking failure it should be Denmark to save it, given that Denmark is not in the euro area, never having trusted the euro, apparently with reason."@en1
