"Madam President, there is one issue that cannot be overlooked in this debate on the use of the subsidiarity principle: the fact that the whole dynamic of the integration process, the legal framework laid down in the Treaty of Lisbon, and, in particular, current practice, completely subvert the subsidiarity principle. This issue has really been turned on its head. The fact is that, instead of the Member States deciding what the EU can do better, the EU decides what the Member States can do better. Now they tell us that the Member States can object! If that is the case, what are the practical consequences of this? The fact is that the monitoring process offers few guarantees. The conditions imposed, particularly the federalist drive that is becoming ever stronger in this process, prevent decisions taken at EU level from being reversed, even when they disregard the subsidiarity principle. First and foremost, it is therefore important to turn the subsidiarity principle back around so that it is facing the right way; in other words, it should be the people who decide what can be done better on their behalf at EU level, rather than the Union stipulating what it believes can be done better by the Member States and imposing it on them."@en1
