"Mr President, this report proposes a regulation to reduce noise from motor vehicles and, like all legislation from this place, it will entail more bureaucracy and cost. For example, the report says that the quality of road surfaces may be the solution to the problem. Perhaps, but how much would it cost to alter them? Given the current state of Member States’ finances, one wonders where they would find the money to carry out this momentous task.
This is a regulation. It will have automatic, binding, legal effect in every Member State. Democratically elected national governments do not have the right to decide whether they want to apply it or not: they have no choice. Perhaps control of noise pollution is one of those powers that David Cameron wants to renegotiate the return of to the British Parliament, among those many thousands of others long ago surrendered to the European Union. Meanwhile, he must continue to obey his masters in Brussels."@en1
