". The Queen of the Councils of Ministers, the Ecofin, has come tumbling off her pedestal with a loud thud. In the Brussels glasshouse, this debate about the finer details of the Stability Pact is still going on, whilst normal citizens, at least in my country, the Netherlands, have for a long time been debating something else. Why do the rules we agree on apply to some countries and not to others? What about the rules we will agree on in the new constitutional treaty, on which all Dutch people are allowed to vote in a referendum? In order to gain any credibility, this constitutional treaty will need to contain tough procedures to enforce monetary rules. I am in favour of a much stronger role for the Commission. Countries that are themselves in breach of the rules should be excluded from voting on the assessment of other countries that infringe the same rules. The French and German Governments have opened Pandora's box. This may well serve a short-term interest, but they have lost all credibility as the axis of European cooperation. As such, they carry a heavy responsibility."@en1
