"Mr President-in-Office, I understand from your reply that talks are in fact under way between the United States and the European Union.
As for your assurances about human rights, I would have no trouble accepting them if the way in which the European Union interprets human rights in practice did not differ considerably from what the man in the street understands by human rights; if, helped by terrorism, the European Union were not building up a repressive, autocratic mechanism to be used against anyone who stands up against its policies.
An article appeared in the English newspaper, the Guardian
on 3 September, expressing concern about the fallout from these talks with the USA. If the Guardian is worried, Mr President-in-Office, we are right to be ten times as worried.
I should like to ask you a specific question: what will be the national parliaments' and the European Parliament's input into these agreements and, on a more general note, what part will they play in ratifying these agreements?"@en1
