"Mr President, nobody can say that any form of dialogue, macroeconomic dialogue in particular, is useless. But come now! Let us not present this as an institutional reform or as a significant step forward in the evolution of the European Union. What kind of dialogue is this? A confidential and secret dialogue? A dialogue with no flexibility, silent witnesses and no freedom of speech? And whom will this dialogue affect exactly? The European Central Bank which is not accountable to anybody? Governments which, or at least most of which, cleave to trade unions and the automatic guiding of the EMU, which will effectively function as a mechanism which embodies and by-passes collective bargaining? In my view, this is making us regress; it is a return to the Privy Councils of pre-Cromwell days when there were no records of proceedings and the people knew nothing. From this point of view, I would like to congratulate Parliament for not participating. In my opinion, in refusing to take part in such short-lived institutional fabrications, the European Parliament, which is a vehicle for openness and transparency, is showing dignity."@en1
