"Mr President, sometimes European parliamentary democracy makes progress by putting up a scaffold and sending a king to the guillotine. At other times we turn to an obscure page of our parliamentary procedures and modernise the relationship between the executive and the legislature, solving problems through negotiation.
The proposed framework agreement strengthens the Parliament, but it also strengthens the Commission, especially its President and its standing with the Council. The Commission will enjoy a dual legitimacy, drawn from the States and from citizens. I hope you enjoy it, but I also trust that you will use it wisely.
The crisis has reassured citizens that the spirit of democracy prevails in the European Union. It will be absurd for people to argue in the future that the Commission is filled with unelected bureaucrats. Europe and democracy are the winners from this crisis."@en1
