lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this haggling about the appointment of the President of the European Council is far from edifying. For example, in Belgium, we are currently seeing the candidacy of our Prime Minister, Herman Van Rompuy, being supported with arguments along the lines of ‘he is unobtrusive, he has relatively few enemies, he is good at reaching compromises’. The underlying reasoning is that anyone who can govern an artificial country such as Belgium can do likewise in Europe. Yet it is not in the interests of anyone in Europe for the European Union to evolve into a larger version of Belgium. Besides, Herman Van Rompuy does not actually govern as prime minister. The Belgian model can no longer be governed, which means that Mr Van Rompuy is more a kind of caretaker of the status quo and, in effect, merely takes care of day-to-day business. We do not need a colourless, flavourless, odourless figure who dances to the tune of the European Commission. What we need is a powerful mouthpiece for the Member States, and also for the citizens, who, unfortunately, are not taken into account in all this."@en1
