lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in Commissioner Rehn’s opening remarks, he declared his ‘deep respect for the principles of democratic scrutiny’. I have to ask him whether there is a room inside the Commission where he can leave that deep respect while he gets on with his work, because the reality is that the Commission, in collaboration with the establishment political parties across Europe, have displayed a deep contempt for any democratic rights throughout the course of the crisis. With the ‘six-pack’, with the austerity treaty and now with the ‘two-pack’, the basic democratic right of elected governments to decide on economic and budgetary policy has been undermined. As always in these institutions, this is shrouded in euphemisms that are largely the ‘defence of the indefensible’, as George Orwell said. So let me remove the veil of euphemism. The enhanced surveillance being referred to here means the placing of governments into administration, it provides a legal basis for the semi-colony status of many countries now within the European Union, it means the further technocratisation of economic policy and includes a mechanism to force countries into austerity programmes. This is all a means for the Commission to employ yet more failed austerity policies – failed from the point of view of the millions, but which work from the point of views of the multimillionaires whom the Commission and the establishment parties represent."@en1
