lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I listened carefully to the speeches by Mr Poettering and Mr Baron Crespo, two Members that I regard highly, and noticed how we sometimes discuss this issue too much from the perspective of our own countries and too much from the perspective of our own political parties. It is no coincidence that the Commission position is in line with that of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats. On the contrary, I believe that we should make the effort to be imaginative as regards this sensitive and complex issue. Europe has its rules – and the Pact is a rule – but, at the moment, we do not need rules any more. I believe that Europe needs to be imaginative, courageous and dynamic and I do not feel that these issues can be tackled without understanding that, in this House, the Italian Presidency and Mr Tremonti are not to be supported for what they have said but rather a Presidency is to be supported for what it does, for taking note of serious issues affecting major countries of this Community. Furthermore, for the third year running, we – and I am a rapporteur on European public finances – have had to note that the European economy is stagnating. I also seem to understand from other Members’ speeches that European politics has some problems, and we were talking about this in committee yesterday with Commissioner Solbes as well. Therefore, why not make an effort to move from stability to growth, at last? I believe that this is to be done by people who, rather than being the guardians of rules, want to be politicians, which is what Plato once meant when he talked about the politician and his supremacy. From this point of view, it seems to me that we are doing exactly what is needed."@en1
