"Madam President, on 25 November the procedures were adhered to in a formal sense, but everyone is well aware that there is a deterioration in the Community spirit. There are passages in force that are admissions of weakness and the oxygen of confidence has become scarce in the European Union since that day.
We do not have sanctions, but the obligation to reduce deficits remains. Indeed, one of the Council’s conclusions highlights this. We must therefore save what may be left of the Pact today, in other words its spirit, the quest for stability and growth, using the one to achieve the other.
What has happened also raises the question of the Franco-German relationship. It is not a question of its necessity as regards moving Europe forward but its credibility in ensuring that the steps forward are accepted. The Franco-German relationship is a driving force, but this driving force must not turn into a detonator that would cause Europe to explode."@en1
