"Mr President, by a diabolical coincidence, it is aeroplanes that illustrate what sort of a world we are living in today. There was the tragedy in New York and there were the events yesterday in another dimension, at another level, in the airports around Switzerland. It may have been Swissair but it could equally easily have been Sabena or Olympic Airways or another airline.
You could say that we are dogmatic in the European Union about refusing to see what is going on around us. That is our right. But I think that to be dogmatic to the point where you refuse to see what even Mr Bush's government with its ultra-conservative economic philosophy and Mr O'Nill in the United States can see is taking things too far. To refuse to see the 15 billion given to the airlines, to refuse to see that, for both political and economic reasons, international movements of funds need to be controlled somewhere along the line if we are to have both economic and political stability, to refuse to see that governments need to stop being petty and to take things in hand. In this sense, I think that to abide dogmatically by a Stability Pact decided under different circumstances ten years ago is a big mistake."@en1
