"Of all the reports on the Single Market that have been adopted today, and against which I voted, only the Kalniete report stands out somewhat from the pack. It has the courage to talk of something other than further integration and consolidation of the Single Market, which has gone on for 25 years without Europeans seeing tangible benefits from it.
It talks, for example, of listening to citizens and proposes that, each year, we identify the principal sources of discontent and frustrations among citizens and take them into account. That would be a novelty! ‘No to the liberalisation of public services’ is what those citizens would say who are exasperated by delays in postal services, soaring energy prices, the deterioration of rail services, and so forth. And it would be stopped! People are sick of unfair competition; they have had enough relocations and imports that are killing off our jobs.
We would protect our markets and our industries by sending the WTO packing! Abandon the ‘Euro Plus Pact’, for which our wages and our purchasing power are less important than the survival of a currency which has only brought us trouble! And it would be done! Yet, considering how long demonstrators have been marching outside your windows saying such things, who have you been listening to, apart from the lobbyists and the wheeler-dealers?"@en1
