"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to help clear up a misunderstanding. The principle of subsidiarity not only protects the prerogative of individual states, but also clearly points to the fact that if any State does not have the capacity to act, action is taken at the next level to the extent that subsidiarity allows.
That is what underpins the Commission’s opportunity for intervention, as is well understood by the Polish Presidency and the European Commission. In these circumstances, we can therefore do nothing other than mobilise our efforts to respond to the needs of 18 million people to whose needs some countries are evidently incapable of administering on a national level.
We must do this and in doing it must we also take care: that is to say, do we wish to move this into the social arena? Excellent. Beware, however. We could lose the benefits of the agricultural sector supply chain, which has been able to deal efficiently with surpluses, and we could also perhaps lose the opportunity of clarifying when social issues should have national competence and when they have EU competence."@en1
