"Mr President, Commissioner, it is a proven fact that, when it comes to employment, men and women are not treated in the same way. The European Parliament has been concerned by this for years, and regularly publishes reports piously wishing for blessed egalitarian resolutions: incredibly labyrinthine systems and hot-air factories, as you will all appreciate.
To be more serious, though, should our institution not concentrate more on reconciling the people with the political elite? One year on from the resounding 'no' votes from the French and the Dutch, it has to be said that nobody wants to be a part of this Europe run by the European Commissioners, of this globalised Europe, and that the chasm between what the eurocrats want and what the nations of Europe want is widening all the time.
Instead of obstinately trying to cobble something together to get round the rejection of the European Constitution, should Brussels' plans and those of Parliament not finally take their inspiration from listening to and respecting the people?"@en1
