Closing Remarks By President Of The European Commission José Manuel Durão Barroso At The EP Debate On The Conclusions Of The December European Council
Mr. President,
Honourable Members,
Many important issues were raised during this debate.
First of all, the issue of substance and form. I agree that in a community that is based on the rule of law form is important. That is why we in the Commission have done everything we could to get an agreement that could be considered compatible with the community method, agreement that could be signed by all the member states. I have to say that this was not only the position of the Commission and the President of the European Council. We presented that as the clear preference and it was the opinion of most of our member states.
