"Mr President, it is stating the obvious to say that the 2020 objectives do indeed merit consideration; most of them, at least. If a European incentive is useful to some Member States for internal political purposes, to help them take the necessary measures, I cannot see any problem with that. Yet what is quite astounding, especially on the part of the Council President, is that the whole eurocracy is barely, if at all, noting that its whole former master plan and the whole Lisbon Strategy have been a complete and utter blunder – rhetoric in its purest form – and that, in fact, there is nothing to indicate that it will be any different this time round. On the contrary, we are hearing pleas for a rush ahead, including the establishment of a European Monetary Fund and an even more federal Europe. I do not think this is the path to be taking; quite the reverse. Allow me to remain very sceptical when it comes to the totality of European policy being placed even further into the hands of the eurocrats who have made a fine mess of it up to now.
I should like to ask the President of the European Council to show the Dutch language rather more respect than he has done up to now."@en1
