"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to take a different approach. The summit will take place in a phase of growing confidence among citizens in the European Union. More than two thirds of the Austrian population – although they are not alone – are of the opinion that we can manage the crisis with the assistance of the European Union only – and that means together.
Awareness of the importance of the common currency, the euro, is growing not only in the eurozone, but above all outside. People feel that only as the continent of Europe together do we play a role and have a chance in the world. The reduction in energy dependence, the commitment to combating climate change, the management of the financial crisis, the creation of a trustworthy defence, security and foreign policy require increased European togetherness, resolve and capacity to act.
If we take advantage of this opportunity, we will meet the expectations of citizens responsibly. Let us find the common roadmap for ratification of the Reform Treaty. Let us create coherent, efficient, professional legislation in response to the financial crisis. Let us find European regulators, based on the model of the European Central Bank. Let us show how a social market economy operates responsibly as a European regulatory framework in the field of climate protection.
We not only have a crisis or many building sites, we also have an opportunity. Let us take advantage of it, let us learn from the mistakes of the past. A lot we knew, and acted too little and too late. The time has come to venture a new start with the citizens of Europe."@en1
