".
With regard to control – as I said at the end of the speech – we propose that the report we present every Spring to Parliament should include an assessment of the sustainability element of the decisions taken. This is crucial, or we will end up with conflicting decisions. I also proposed to introduce what I called a Round Table for the Commission: a sort of monitoring body of experts, who will constantly advise us on achieving these goals.
As far as globalisation is concerned, I refer you to my answer to the previous question. The only channel open to us is to make our voice heard in the appropriate international forums. We cannot do more than this. However, I would stress that the European Union does have a great responsibility in this matter for it is currently the world’s leading economic player in terms of the physical scale of its production capacity. Therefore, we cannot deny that, although, I regret to say, we do not have formal authority, there is no doubt that we have a great responsibility and great influence over the countries and structures outside the European Union."@en1
