| The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament: IGCs are a Failed Approach to Decision Making 11. December 2003
On the eve of the EU summit in Brussels, Monica Frassoni, Co-President of the Green/EFA Group in the European Parliament, said today:
"European leaders meet tomorrow in Brussels. But if – as is exactly what happened three years ago in Nice – they cannot agree on a more democratic and efficient decision-making system, and remain stuck in Eurovision-like discussions on who gets what, we will have conclusive proof that the EU's first priority is to get rid of Intergovernmental conferences. Present Member State governments are unable to make decisions on behalf of the citizens of the EU." "The Green/EFA Group call on the heads of Governments and State to resist degeneration into pitiful horse-trading and give the European Union a constitution that makes the Union more efficient, more accountable and more democratic. We do not need a bad constitution."
