This resolution does not greatly further the positions that Parliament has been upholding in respect of so-called ‘European governance’, a euphemism used by federalists of all colours for the move towards the creation of a future European government – ‘obviously’ the European Commission – with ‘European’ social partners, aimed at a so-called ‘European public opinion’. Thus, in the external field, it points towards EU representation in international organisations through the proposed Foreign Minister at the head of a common European diplomatic service.
Also significant is the consideration that ‘the recent failure of the WTO Conference in Cancún demonstrates the need to reform the rules, procedures and decision-making mechanisms of the WTO.’ In other words, faced with another setback for the neo-liberal capitalist agenda, its representatives are trying to find procedures that will bypass the position adopted by certain countries to defend their national interests against the major capitalist powers, specifically the EU.
Nonetheless, I welcome the demand for openness and transparency in the use of experts and for the publishing of the composition of the committees and working groups consulted by the Commission when preparing its proposals, which will certainly highlight the role played by UNICE, the confederation of European big business."@en1
