"Mr President, Presidents, this European Council has attempted, for the first time – as you said, Mr Van Rompuy – to have a vision which shifts from the short term to the long term. It is something that we have often called for here and we thank you for this. There are both vital measures concerning the banks and the spreads, and the vision that you have displayed. Point duly noted, thank you. However, there are two tragic contradictions. The first has just been mentioned, in particular, by Mr Mauro: we must be serious with respect to the markets. Whatever you have decided, find an agreement from the outset on its communication. I have a request for you, Mr Van Rompuy, silence them. Silence them! Speak in the name of the European Council. Let us stop this shameless cacophony. What company, human group, family, even, would tolerate the fact that after a meeting, each person goes and talks about who knows what. What is at stake here is the destiny of southern Europe. Mr Van Rompuy. Silence them!
Secondly, concerning democratic legitimacy, the last point, but a very important one, regarding your paper: I observe, nonetheless, an enormous discrepancy between the goodwill shown on paper and what happens in reality. The only point on which you have made progress concerning banking union is with regard to supervision. That affects an area in which this Parliament has fought together with the Commission against the Council, which was dragging its feet, in order to have European supervision. Perhaps it is a good thing that the European Central Bank (ECB) takes charge of this, I have nothing against the idea, but, Mr Van Rompuy, Mr Barroso, this must be debated in a democratic forum. You cannot withdraw competences that were granted to Parliament, and concerning something that we have worked on together."@en1
