"The draft treaty currently under negotiation is unacceptable, both in content and form. In terms of content, it is exclusively punitive and consists only in constitutionalising ‘golden rules’ for reducing deficits and promoting austerity, ignoring the absolute necessity of investing to encourage growth and boost employment. This treaty traps Europe in the recession, and we cannot accept it. In terms of form, it was negotiated on the sly by the Heads of State or Government, completely ignoring the European Parliament’s role as co-legislator as well as the role of national parliaments. The negotiation group granted to the European Parliament is a far cry from allowing fair representation of European citizens in this discussion. The resolution voted through may have voiced some criticisms and reservations as regards the draft treaty, but it is too timid on these points and that is why I abstained."@en1
