lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly, it is important to say that this initiative suffers from a serious legal problem. It is assumed that an attempt will be made to include the content of the Fiscal Compact in EU secondary legislation. The small problem we find with this is that the Fiscal Compact has not been ratified, nor does it come within EU fundamental law because it is an intergovernmental treaty. This shows that the Commission’s objectives, supported by the majority of this Parliament, are to be imposed on citizens by any means possible, even if they lack legal legitimacy. Is this the European citizenship that the Commission says it wishes to promote? Secondly, it is important to highlight that, as much as the text tries to hide it with words about growth and employment, the measures strengthening economic and budgetary surveillance are nothing more than an enhancement of the Stability and Growth Pact and the eternal institutionalisation of the so-called austerity measures, restricting the budgetary and economic sovereignty of the Member States. What are referred to here as macro-economic adjustment programmes are no different from so-called austerity measures. That is, they drive forward the formula of cutting public social services and social security systems, and reducing employment unit costs by reducing salaries and employment rights."@en1
