"The European market, known as the internal market, was founded on the four fundamental freedoms – freedom of movement for persons, goods, services and capital – and has been extended through the consolidation of economic integration, the introduction of a common currency, and the implementation of cohesion policy. The undeniable benefits of the internal market are of vital importance for Europe’s economic growth, which is why further expansion is both desirable and necessary. After all, there are 20 million enterprises throughout the EU, accounting for 175 million jobs and supplying 500 million consumers in the EU alone. I am voting against the motion for a resolution because, although economic growth is undoubtedly important in rescuing Europe from the economic doldrums, a confederation of allied European states as already largely set down in the Treaty of Maastricht would be quite sufficient for this. In addition, national interests are being sacrificed to the mania for European centralisation, subjecting the public to a policy of merciless austerity."@en1
