"Mr President, Mr Wammen, Commissioner, I would simply ask you not to be schizophrenic at the end of this month.
I am deeply concerned that, when it comes to economic governance, we are now having a debate, which, I believe, is fair, on how growth can be created which would make the discipline sustainable and lasting and which would make it possible to have balance sheets that balance and to reduce the debt.
However, as far as our attitude to budgets is concerned, it is the least creative and the most blinkered that it is possible to have. It entails considering that any money spent at European level would be a bad thing and should be reduced. Nor is there any interest – as Mr Verhofstadt said – or at least not enough, in having own resources, which would enable the European Union to act. These concerns are shared by all of us.
Democracy is at stake here, not only as regards the procedure but also because, behind closed doors, the Member States have rights of veto and the decisions taken are not in the public interest."@en1
