"Mr President, Mr Barroso, Mr Van Rompuy, you have no doubt all heard the absolutely outrageous words of BP’s CEO, who said: ‘I would like my life back’. Now I get the impression that at the moment in the European Council, there are governments which would like to act as if there had never been a crisis and which would like their lives back. They come and tell us: ‘We will keep the supervision of the past. There have not been all that many developments. We can therefore dilute Mr de Larosière’s project, which the Commission had adopted, and we can reject the European Parliament’s request because, fundamentally, what happened was only a very small crisis and we do not need to go very far’. However, this is not the position of the European Parliament, and I would like everyone to face up to his or her responsibilities here. In December 2009, the Ecofin Council unanimously voted for a position that blocked any chance of discussion in codecision. On the day of the Ecofin Council, the coordinators of the four groups of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs told the Council that this was unacceptable. Then for months, we were told: ‘Perhaps you will keep quiet’. Then, on 10 May, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs voted for a more demanding text. Presidents, that is where we are, and we do not intend to accept a second-rate agreement. We also want institutions to be established on 1 January of next year, but institutions that work, European Union institutions where together, we decide on common rules applicable to financial services and financial establishments, a system that is not based on the goodwill of the Member States and especially not a system that gives rights of veto to Member States which obviously do not want financial supervision at all. Therefore, we want to make compromises, but we do not want to be compromised by people who do not actually want to succeed."@en1
