"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on 30 October 1985, Altiero Spinelli, fearing that the Europe of nations, rather than the European nation, would very quickly undermine the 1984 reform of the European Parliament, entrusted us in this House with the task of continuing the European revolution. I should simply like to quote what he said on 31 December: ‘The European Parliament may censure the Commission, may bring about its resignation, may reject the budget, may vote for a budget other than that proposed by the Council, but the European Parliament must in particular forward its opinions to the Council. Without these opinions, the Council cannot make decisions!’; Spinelli, who organised tens of meetings on this issue in the various European countries, concluded ‘the European Parliament should have the courage to strike in support of its opinions.’
Mr President, we went for a military rather than a parliamentary operation to achieve a new structure, a new organisation of Europe. It seems to me that the polls tell us clearly what the people of Europe think of this and of the bureaucratic Europe of nations and not the European nation."@en1
