"This Council was yet another restatement of the objectives of ‘economic governance’, the ‘Euro Plus Pact’, the ‘Europe 2020 strategy’ and the ‘Stability and Growth Pact’. It was the restatement of the same policies that led to the present tragic social situation, which are deepening it by increasing unemployment, by reducing wages, by scaling back the welfare state and by abolishing public services. The fiscal compact and the European Stability Mechanism treaty constitute an unacceptable assault on the sovereignty of the Member States, which are losing the capacity for sovereign decisions on budgetary matters, so paving the way for the establishment of colonial-type relationships in the EU, in which big business rules, alongside the major powers, such as Germany.
It once again includes the inevitable and standard statements of those who always welcome the results of these summits. However, they cannot hide that summit follows summit – there have already been three dozen held under the shadow of the ‘euro crisis’ – whilst the crisis spreads and deepens. Clearly, we voted against a resolution that emerged from this Council, which welcomes these instruments and policies, and which requests from the Commission legislative proposals that make a veritable declaration of war on the workers and peoples."@en1
