– Madam President, colleagues, we often say that we do not have the means for our ambition. I will say that in these cases we do not have the ambition to use our means, because when it comes to trade and digital matters, we can be powerful and we can be effective, but we really have to want it. Since last July in Scotland, the appeasement approach pushed by the Commission with the support, we know, of several EU governments has blatantly failed, because, as the old saying goes, if you behave like a sheep, the wolf will eat you. So let's be bold. Trump wants to subdue us. Let's respond by using all our trade powers, as many colleagues have said. But I also want to say, dear President of the Council, dear António, let's respond also by reforming EU governance. In this Parliament in October, we adopted a very bold document to make the Union more powerful, more effective and more democratic. It is high time that the Council started to tackle the institutional issues.
