The only aim of this report is for Parliament to unconditionally support the Commission’s plans.
Apart from the inevitable catalogue of good intentions – promoting the spirit of enterprise, increasing investments in human resources and research and development – which we can only support, the report is a perfect illustration of the Pavlovian mindset that governs this Parliament: the Commission only has to act as the high priest of European integration for Parliament to automatically agree wholeheartedly with it.
The same applies to the desire to make the Commission the economic government of Europe, and to the desire to liberalise services of general interest and network industries, primarily postal services, telecommunications, gas and electricity and railways.
While greater economic convergence between the economic powers of the Member States is clearly desirable, in order to be viable it must operate with respect for their authority and by doing so be a natural result of free economic competition between the Member States, not of technocratic decisions that ignore national realities."@en1
