"Mr President, I feel that the major question on the table at the Council, and here in Parliament, is whether the people understand that we have in fact entered a new phase, one in which Europe no longer responds to the citizens’ concerns as it used to, when peace and democracy were the prime objectives. Nowadays, we want our European, national and institutional leaders to be equal to some of the main challenges, in a way that is objective rather than dogmatic.
We therefore want to know whether the European social model is compatible with a form of globalisation that has been brought in at the cost of the kinds of social dumping and environmental dumping that prevail in other countries and that have led to relocations and unemployment in Europe. It is important, indeed crucial, that Europe – either of its own volition or if possible in conjunction with the United States, starting with the Doha Round – takes measures to ensure compliance with International Labour Organisation rules, in the same way that the Lisbon Strategy must become less bureaucratic and more entrepreneur-friendly and SME-friendly.
This is also the case with subsidiarity, which we have heralded but which in practice the institutions consistently overlook. The Commission, and more importantly Parliament, must take action to ensure, once and for all, that subsidiarity is properly implemented across the board. Lastly, we need to be aware of Europe’s limits and of the pace of enlargement, when the process of deepening has not been successful. These are the European Council’s main challenges."@en1
