"Former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin once said: 'We meant to do it better but it came out as always’. This is a case in point. These rules, which in their current form work against the Lisbon Strategy and in favour of the big corporations that have come to terms with them in the hope of market dominance, are damaging to SMEs. Furthermore, the principle of data sharing, which is a good thing, is curtailed by the fact that there are no sanctions whatsoever in this area. The rules will threaten jobs in countries like mine and will have a knock-on effect in other sectors. I believe there are some people in the Chamber who will be happy with these rules.
Aldous Huxley once said that happiness is like coke – something you get as a by-product of the process of making something else. Something similar will happen in this case, in the sense that while our group, as Mr Langen said, appeared to have a majority, it will take only a few more rules of this kind before we actually do have a majority."@en1
