"Mr President, it must seem strange to the outside world that we have been congratulating one another so very much, particularly as the markets are still nervous and ordinary people are angry about this crisis.
I think that the summit last weekend was, quite honestly, a disaster. It was appalling to witness the sort of unprecedented information war that various Member States engaged in from their own point of view, and in which they spoke of their own objectives. The messages that came out of the summit were highly contradictory. The worst of it was – and this has been evident here with regard to the patent issue, for example – that, once again, new policy was laid down on what were often very technical and detailed questions in the dead of night.
Researchers have found that if a person stays awake for 24 hours at a time, it equates to a blood alcohol content of one per mil, and that is the point at which driving a car is a crime. When people take decisions after staying awake so long like this, these sorts of problems arise. For that reason, and as you are such a creative person so full of ideas, Prime Minister, what does your experience tell you about how practices might be improved in the wake of this summit?"@en1
