European Parliament
Patrick Louis (IND/DEM ). –
(FR)
Mr President, Mr Schüssel, in the
Süddeutsche Zeitung
, you supplied a vital piece of information: you pointed out that the Court of Justice should not use its judgments for the purposes of transferring powers to the Commission, and this outside the framework of the Treaties. We congratulate you on your ability to make things clear.
In fact, the case law demonstrated by the ‘Marks & Spencer’ judgment of 13 December 2005 shows that the Court of Justice has a teleological take on the Treaties that leads it to go beyond its rights. We want our Assembly, taking its lead from your Presidency, to redefine the role of the Court of Justice and to limit the consequences of its decisions.
Mr Schüssel, if you want to reconcile the nations with Europe, then you should have only one aim: to use your authority to put the power back in the hands of the sovereign nations.
