"Mr President, I was extremely disappointed that Mr Barroso did not answer my main question: why it should be he, the unelected representative of an EU institution, giving the State of the Union address rather than the elected representative, Mr Schulz. Maybe you could help me on this point, Mr Barroso?
We do not agree on much, and I do not agree with your vision of a united Europe, but I do agree with you, Mr Barroso, that if the club is going to prosper, if it is going to work, you need all the members inside working towards that. I need to ask you then: why do you not challenge the UK to put up or shut up? Why do you go along with the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, pretending that he can renegotiate to recover powers from the European Union? Are you saying that he can renegotiate certain items from the Treaty of Rome? Can you just make it clear, once and for all, that renegotiation of significant powers such as the Social Chapter is not possible?
Is it not damaging to the European Union to have the UK in its current predicament until 2017? Is it not time for the UK and its people to decide, sooner rather than later, whether they want the country to remain a member of the European Union?"@en1
