"Mr President, at this sitting we will be debating the renewed social agenda, the millennium goals and much else besides. In a couple of hours we will vote on cultural programmes, the labelling of organic products, and requirements for harmonising taxation, all issues in which the Union should not involve itself at all.
This concentration of political power means that the distance between those governing and those governed increases. Indignation is rising among citizens. The establishment is forced to take increasingly tough measures to ride roughshod over the will of the people. It would be far better to produce a report about what we mean by the term subsidiarity and have a thorough debate about that. We should do that before we try to regulate centrally how the social partners should behave in 27 different countries.
In my own country there is great anger over the fact that the EU and its judges can take the liberty of controlling the establishment of a labour market system other than the one which has grown up amid considerable national unity over the past 70 years."@en1
