"Mr President, the European Semester has become a by—term for an economic platform that has undermined sovereignty, undermined democracy, and has absolutely eroded public confidence in the European Institutions. But, above all, it is a failed economic platform. It is interesting to hear today some MEPs crying crocodile tears over the fact that Parliament has been denied legislative powers in the European Semester when this House has conspired to deny the democratic rights of citizens to determine the economic direction of their countries. The European Semester is simply reinforcing a set of policies that have entrenched the democratic deficit and disillusioned citizens even further. It is a set of policies that have created unequal societies and has failed to address the underlying problems of boom and bust economics that have beset countries like Ireland. The European Semester and the document that we are discussing today are a failed economic policy. We need to accept what our citizens already accept: that it is time for a new direction for European economics and European politics."@en1
