"Mr President, President of the Commission, Commissioner, Mr Aznar, I ask you not to relax. Your time of glory in the Presidency may have come to an end in the European Union, but your responsibility has not.
The media screen of achievements that you have put up does not hide the very serious questions appearing on the horizon. The proposals from your party colleague, Mr Fischler, to reform the common fisheries policy or the CAP are generating uncertainty and concern among our fishermen and farmers. They just need to come into line with our reality, which today is very far from the virtual technocratic reality in the Commission.
Now is the time for you to demonstrate the forcefulness of your politics there, here, where our future is being decided.
Your greatest achievement in the Spanish Presidency has been your will, your team’s capacity for work. Congratulations! I had never seen so many memorandums presented here, although proportionally the progress has been scarce.
You cut the tape for the launch of the euro. Very good. But you underestimated the prior work that had been done by some people.
To conclude, your initial proposals on immigration were significantly reduced, thank God, and, to the disappointment of many, the people of Barcelona and Seville behaved and dispelled all of your alarmist predictions with their civic-minded attitude. I therefore formally ask, Mr President, that the European institutions congratulate both cities on their behaviour and civic-mindedness, and on their patience in the face of those expensive and unnecessary displays of power."@en1
