"Mr President, I should have liked to have heard Mr Van Rompuy, the President of the European Council, also speak in this debate.
In my view, the state of the Union should also reflect the institutional reality of the Union. Indeed, since the Treaty of Lisbon came into force, we have witnessed a kind of ‘presidentialisation’ embodied by the President of the European Council in several key areas of European policy.
In the management of the euro crisis, the task force set up by the European Council and chaired by Mr Van Rompuy could have been, I believe, the subject of a debate on the state of the Union. While no one is forcing the President of the European Council to come and address the European Parliament, no one is stopping him either.
I should like to hear you speak on this point, President Barroso, and to name those people for whom Mr Van Rompuy’s presence might be a nuisance."@en1
