"Mr President, Prime Minister, imagine that one day, a President of the Commission says to us after six months: ‘You all know what we have done. We have done a lot, it is true, and we have done it with zeal, but now we must tell you what is blocked’. The problem that we have here is that you had a proposal, but we still do not understand why it has not been possible to conclude it.
You spoke about the directive on energy efficiency. It is possible to lie to oneself? There are two countries who have blocked this: Germany and Poland. We must therefore look at how we can unblock Europe because while we are deluding ourselves by saying: ‘You see, we have done a good job, etc.’, we know very well that the decisions that we take are not up to the required standard.
The energy directive is a good thing but we all know that it is insufficient. It is not your fault, it is the way that Europe functions that is being called into question. There was talk of the patent. Of course it is absurd, but the public must really understand this. The problem is not simply what we tell ourselves here; it also what the public can understand. When you have this contradiction with Mr Cameron, who gives lectures to everyone, and who, in fact, is preventing Europe from developing, the European public must understand, taking the example of patents, what it is all about.
We could give other examples, in particular Schengen, which is self-explanatory, since, in the end, if we restore the opening and closure of borders, it marks the end of the European Community approach. It is very simple. All the interior ministers are responsible in this sense. Let us call a spade a spade, so that at least the public may understand what is at stake.
You talk about the integration of Serbia and Montenegro. Yes! Yet once again we are forgetting Sarajevo. We always forget Bosnia. Today, the only country that does not have a European perspective is Bosnia, a country that has previously fallen victim to nationalism in the Balkans. It is not sufficient to give ourselves gold stars – no doubt deserved – on the subject of Bosnia when we are talking about Serbia, because as long as we fail to find a solution for Bosnia, I personally will continue to have a guilty conscience."@en1
