"What is currently happening with the announced amendment to the Treaty of Lisbon shows that everything that EU leaders have said about the importance of the national parliaments and the European Parliament, the deepening of democracy, and the sustainability of the Treaty itself, has been nothing more than propaganda.
A year and several months after the Treaty of Lisbon’s entry into force, everyone is being sidelined for an amendment to be drawn up using a mechanism of the Treaty itself which not only allows an amendment to be made without any democratic participation whatsoever – continuing, in fact, with their rejection of the national referenda to approve the Treaty – but also creates a mechanism enabling permanent control of the Member States’ economies.
This report is heading in the same direction, by tabling certain proposed amendments to the Commission’s proposal regarding the amendment to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as regards a stability mechanism for Member States whose currency is the euro.
In practice, everything is aimed at consolidating the boost that they are attempting to give to this economic governance with the creation of the ‘European semester’: the deepening of the penalties relating to compliance with the Stability and Growth Pact, of the economic policy guidelines, and of any indicators that may be adopted. They are trying to impose a veritable straitjacket on the Member States."@en1
