"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have to say that today we have heard three speeches that bode well for Europe. They represent three programmes and three strategies.
I would like to say to Ms Thorning-Schmidt that she has made a very important point, that Denmark follows Europe’s destiny. It is not just a throw-away line, it is a phrase that makes a commitment to strengthen Europe and to offer total support; to make sure, as she said at the end, that the Community method prevails.
We therefore find ourselves in a very difficult situation – and mine is not empty rhetoric – as we are facing a halt in the EU development process. This has been superseded not by amendment of the treaty, as some Members have claimed, but by an agreement between the intergovernmental Member States. We have come to a standstill and are facing very difficult times, which I do not believe will lead to the possibility of development. With the intergovernmental agreement there is neither growth nor development. Therefore the commitment of the Danish Presidency is to prevent all this from happening."@en1
