Maastricht rescue may hit one market
BRUSSELS, Sept 25: European Community leaders are hoping to rescue the Maastricht Union Treaty by brandishing a sword called 'subsidiarity.' or national-level decision making, but officials warn they might end up wounding the EC’s single market instead, reports AFP.
The EC's executive European commission says politicians are making it the scapegoat of anti-Maastricht sentiment by trying to curb its powers In the name of decentralised decision-making, called 'subsidiarity' in Eurospeak.
The commission maintains that the functioning of the single market to be launched on January 1 would be flawed if
EC bureaucrats are intimidated into inactivity.
Former EC commissioner Peter Sutherland said that the problem was not so much the EC's decisions, but a lack of public participation. He is preparing a report on how to Improve the decision making process.
Sutherland said: "We must be very careful in discussing the reduction of the commission's powers for fear that the principle of subsidiarity may be used to damage the authority necessary to make the single market world."
European Commission Vice-President Leon Britan added: "We must not sink Into dis couraged apathy and fearful immobility.
We must not Just abandon all policy-making in the face of anxiety and the fear of one political hurdle after another." he said in a speech which followed unprecedented attacks on Brussels bureaucrats.
They have promised that the wings of the EC's central bureaucracy will be clipped so that decisions will wherever possible be taken at national or local level instead of in Brus-sels.
But the bureaucrats maintain that subsidiarity will give member nations a convenient excuse to avoid unpopular decisions necessary for the single market, which aims at creating a "level playing field" for business throughout the EC.
They fear that the commis-
sion might no longer be able, for example, tfi stop members from pumping money into loss-making Industries in con travention of single market competition rules.
Or it might not be able to apply uniform environmental standards in the face of politl cal lobbying from businessmen outraged at the cost.
Demoralised Eurocrats In sist that decisions are imposed on them by the politicians, and often aggravated by political horse-trading between countries.
David Williamson, secretary general of the commission, denied the popular perception that decisions came from the commission.
