"Mr President, I wanted to thank Ms Thyssen for her work. In my view, the June European Council also laid down milestones for a better approach.
However, today, I wanted to ask another question: do you know how Eurosceptics are made? It is by saying you will do things that never get done. It is by spending the last 20 years talking to people about a common foreign policy that does not exist; we talked about being the most competitive part of the world in 2010, which they didn’t see materialise. Now, do you know what effect you will have at the European Council on Thursday if you take a decision that ignores a plenary vote in Parliament? If you do that for the European Central Bank, giving it an image that is not the one we want to see Europe have in the world, you risk completely removing any credibility from all your fine words about strengthening democracy. Therefore we will see on Thursday evening whether the European Council respects democracy or whether everything we do here is completely pointless."@en1
