"Mr President, the Commission is to give its opinion on the Alstom rescue plan by this evening. This is a group which has 118 000 employees and whose activity encompasses industries which are of great importance for the European Union. Far from seeing only the European aspect of the issue, I would point out that the group’s previous board of directors and the French state are also greatly to blame. That said, the European Union is implicated, with regard to competition rules, state aid and also the inordinate power wielded by the Commission in these matters. That is why I feel that the Alstom affair points, in some way, to the strategic choices that we have to make for the future of Europe, particularly in terms of adopting a Constitution. My group therefore proposes that, if possible, the issue be included in tomorrow’s agenda in the form of a Commission statement followed by a debate."@en1
