lpv:translated text	"The federalist majority in Parliament wanted to make this report a political act of support for the Commission in its dispute with the Council. This is why I voted against its adoption. By making an appeal to the Court of Justice regarding the Council’s action of 25 November 2003 to suspend the court proceedings instituted by the Commission against France and Germany for ‘excessive’ budget deficits, the Brussels college has shown that it has well and truly become a free electron, a completely irresponsible and uncontrollable body. Indeed, what is more ‘stupid’ – to quote Mr Prodi on the subject of the Stability and Growth Pact – than this budgetary yoke if it is not the decision to apply it no matter what and, if necessary, by force? This arbitrary choice is a direct consequence of the wayward federalist tendencies of the European Union. The Member States are paying the price of the many transfers of national competences that have been implemented since Maastricht, benefiting technocratic, centralist and bureaucratic institutions that are totally disconnected from reality. There is no doubt at all that this assault on politics, carried out with the complicity of Parliament, will be severely judged by citizens."@en1
