"Commissioner Almunia, Mrs Malmström, I would ask you not to forget in Pittsburgh that we are experiencing not only a financial and economic crisis of unprecedented dimensions, but also a huge social crisis with devastating effects on those most in need, on those who only have their job, on small entrepreneurs, and on the most disadvantaged regions and countries. I hope it is made clear in Pittsburgh that the economy is important, but that people are more important and that the economy serves the people.
Furthermore, Commissioner, Minister, please do not forget in Pittsburgh that Europe exists. Please make your voices heard above those of the three tenors. I have here the letter of 3 September from the three European Prime Ministers. There is not one word on Europe. They say that it is important that Europe speaks with one voice, but they keep drowning out Europe’s voice.
You must speak louder than them. You must make clear that Europe has a right and an obligation, and that our vision of the social market economy is the solution to this crisis, and to preventing its reoccurrence."@en1
