"Mr President, I am one of the Members of this House who will not be congratulating you on the success of this six-month Presidency. I actually believe that two flagship projects you pushed through in recent months are in fact damaging. Indeed, they are damaging not only to my country, Poland, but also to Europe as a whole. Although it is now marginally more acceptable, the climate change package is still a bad one, and its adoption at this juncture is simply ridiculous. In addition, reviving the Lisbon Treaty that was rejected in a national referendum in Ireland makes a mockery of democracy. Do not delude yourself, Sir, into thinking that one additional seat in the European Parliament will enable you to buy greater support for Lisbon in Poland.
I should like to say to you, Mr President, that, even though last week in Brussels your diplomatic talents allowed you to persuade the other Heads of State or Government to support your controversial ideas, it is my earnest hope that the citizens of sovereign nations will say ‘no’ to those ideas in next year’s elections to the European Parliament."@en1
