"Mr President, someone is cruelly missing from this Chamber this evening, although he was here this afternoon. How can we tolerate the fact, ladies and gentlemen, that this crucial debate on the consequences of the judgment of the Court of 13 September 2005 is taking place in the absence of the main party involved, the Council itself? Was it the Council that imposed this agenda so as to avoid having to publicly acknowledge the profound meaning of its defeat on 13 September in Luxembourg? Allow me to act as its spokesperson this evening.
Yes, the Council was defeated that day by a further judicial show of strength. Yes, despite the rejection of the ratification of the European Constitution that provided for it, the competence pillars have, in fact, just merged. There are no longer any intergovernmental powers in Europe. Yes, the Member States can see that an interpretation of the Treaties that they signed is being arbitrarily imposed on them. That is what the Chairman of the French Constitutional Council, Pierre Mazot, calls France’s vitiated consent.
Yes, this uncontrolled communitisation of criminal law knows no bounds because, while it was at it, the Commission decided to annul nine framework-decisions, a move that, after the environment, will enable it to lay its hands on criminal law in relation to illegal immigration, to marine pollution and even to intellectual property. I ask you, ladies and gentlemen – and particularly the French Members among us – what purpose do our Interior and our Justice ministers now serve?
On behalf of my group, I tabled Amendment 1, which is a very sensible amendment and one to which every independent Member could easily be won over. It is an alternative that simply calls on the Member States to regain control of the treaties that they sign. Yet, how many independent Members are there in this Chamber, ladies and gentlemen? Continue to get round the nations with your federalisation of the legal system and your other plan B and you will see 2007 replicate 2005."@en1
