"(NL) Mr President, 15 years ago the Member States were experiencing prosperity, peace and mutual understanding. Now we are experiencing increasing poverty, riots and empty promises. Everyone outside Brussels understands that Europe has taken a wrong turning.
Despite that this Parliament wants to continue going down this path. Parliament wishes for a genuine monetary union in which the budgetary power of the Member States and thus their sovereignty disappear, a banking union where the door is open to recapitalise bankrupt banks via the European Stability Mechanism, with supervision through Brussels, which a year ago still called Dexia an excellent bank, and finally a transfer union in which northern taxpayers have to pay in perpetuity not only for their own social system but also for that of other countries. Everyone will end up poorer because of this.
Mr President, sovereignty is something to be proud of and not a historical error. If this report is accepted, it will be because according to good socialist custom there are more profiteers than payers. I, though, shall vote against it. We must endeavour to achieve prosperity for everyone and not to redistribute poverty."@en1
