"Madam President, another international bureaucracy is generating more self-justifying regulation. That is what they do: dogs bark, ducks quack and global technocracies justify their existence with new laws. What is really interesting about this ILO process, though, is that we are seeing at an early stage the way in which EU directives often have their genesis in global regulations. This is significant because we are always being told that our Member States need to be in the European Union in order to have influence. But in practical terms what you find is that, as in this case with the ILO, you have the EU being a single block and then Norway, Switzerland and so on having independent voices around that table.
We would have far more influence in practical terms on the resulting directives and regulations if we had not subcontracted out our negotiation to the European Commission. In the meantime, of course, the best thing we could do for workers around the world is to give them more jobs. The way of doing that is for governments to get out of the way; governments never expedited anything but by the alacrity with which they stepped aside."@en1
