"President Barroso ended his “State of the Union” address today by expressing his support for parliamentary democracy both at national and European level and by calling for the strengthening of the role of the European Parliament, as well as of the national Parliaments. Article 4 of the Treaty on European Union states that the Union shall respect the equality of Member States before the Treaties, as well as their national identities, inherent in their fundamental political and constitutional structures.
I believe the European Commission has exceeded the mandate voted by the European Parliament in that it has established and transmitted to the Government of Romania the list containing 11 requirements, some of which going beyond its competences and violating the sovereignty and subsidiarity of a Member State. President Barroso was also speaking today of a contract of confidence between the Member States and the European institutions. I think this partnership should be based on mutual respect, cooperation and, in particular, on respecting the role, duties and scope of the mandates of each institution, both at national and European level. Finally, I regret and denounce the intention of certain Liberal Democratic Party (PDL) MEPs to suggest the temporary suspension of several of Romania’s rights, such as the vote in the Council. I believe this is an action directed against the Romanian citizens."@en1
