"Without prejudging the basis and the validity of the approach taken by Mr Zapatero’s government, it is not for the European institutions to adopt a position on a matter that, by its very nature – relating as it does to the status and the future of a province – falls within the internal policy of a Member State. That is particularly the case when there is such intense internal debate between a parliamentary majority and opposition. Because it asks the Council and the Commission to take appropriate measures, the joint resolution is obviously at risk of being abused. The rationale of a number of the political groups that have signed the resolution and whose ambition it is to internationalise the conflict is dangerous and counter-productive. The Spanish should be left to manage and settle this conflict between themselves.
In these conditions, an alternative resolution by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats was fully justified. I should, however, have liked the reasoning to have revolved around rejection on principle of the examination of a matter internal to a Member State. That is why I abstained from voting on both resolutions."@en1
