"Mr President, I think it should trouble this House that the only round of applause from our citizens – I think the group have left the Chamber – was when a UK colleague, who equally has left the House, belittled the European Union and the work it has done to date. Populist messages sell and I am afraid that I would echo the words of President Van Rompuy when he said that ‘time is the cement of politics’. But it seems that time is something that is in short supply.
On the specifics of the work programme, I think we do need to look at legislation and implementation. We have had failure to implement which has led us to this crisis because we have turned a blind eye in the past, particularly on the economic issues. But, for example, this morning, colleagues met with Commissioner Dalli on a small issue of electronic identification of sheep – legislation that we passed which we now believe to be defective and needs to be changed. In these matters, we need to react more swiftly."@en1
