"Mr President, we have taken good note of this decision by the Commission. We would have liked to have had the opportunity to discuss this matter with the Commission before it took the decision. We were not able to do so, but in any event, I wish to say that we have no objection, in principle, to the idea of closer cooperation, which would lead to more effective and more appropriate action by the European Union.
There is, however, one specific question that I wish to raise, which is both a question and a fear: to what extent will the identity and visibility of the European Union become subordinated as a result of this cooperation, particularly in terms of defining guidelines to follow and, specifically, with regard to the agencies that are really behind all decisions taken in this area, by which I mean the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank? To what extent are we maintaining our independence from these institutions, which, as we know, have become greatly discredited?"@en1
