"The results of the last European meeting in December were rather disappointing.
Leaving aside the debate as to whether the Community method is preferable to the intergovernmental method, as indicated in this resolution, it would be more important to underline how the ‘EU method’ itself is failing miserably. In its best manifestation, the European Union and the euro should have been able to guarantee more prosperity and security for all, in a climate of reciprocal advantages. None of this has happened, and the benefits, which have been marginal, have been limited to a few Member States, first and foremost to Germany.
Therefore I appreciated and share the position of Mr Cameron, who at least defended the interests of his people, and did not accept once again having to submit to the decisions of the others, which always only benefit the same few. At such a delicate time Member States have a duty to defend their prerogatives and their specific natures, and therefore I do not believe the line emerging from this resolution is sustainable, as it seems to wish to persist along the path of strengthening the EU in the name of utopian ideals that, in actual fact, have turned out to be totally unachievable."@en1
