"Mr President, the agreement we have reached is, in itself, quite a reasonable one. Sanctions against fiscal sinners will be as automatic as possible. However, there will be a lot of collateral damage. The Netherlands will lose the right to veto payments from the new European Stability Mechanism.
A motion by my party members on this matter in the Hague was supported by only a few groups, which is utterly incomprehensible. We have pitched battles being fought over every euro that needs to be saved in the Netherlands, but people apparently have no problem with billions being squandered on an amputated budget in Europe. The Netherlands will also lose an important ally, now that the United Kingdom is pulling out.
Give it a little while and the Dutch Prime Minister Rutte will be nothing more than an attendant in the power marriage between Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy. Mr Sarkozy’s position has, unfortunately, been strengthened, because he has got rid of the Brits and their Atlantic allegiance. There is reason to fear that the necessary restructuring and budget cuts will fail to manifest and that the ECB will sort out even more junk bonds. I would also suggest you give a glass of water to our fellow Member over there, because he might be about to choke."@en1
