"I am grateful to the Commissioner, to the President of the ECB and to the rapporteur for having taken an open and highly professional approach to this problem that concerns us gravely. Indeed, it is alarming that despite all our efforts, the rate of unemployment and the level of state indebtedness keeps rising in almost all Member States of the European Union. My country, Slovakia, is no exception to the rule. Unemployment has risen above 13%. Slovakia was the last state to join the euro area, on 1 January 2009, and this had positive repercussions on economic as well as political and social areas. The vast majority of the population still feels positive about the euro. We think it is important therefore to maintain the strength and prestige of the euro. Parliament must help the Commission and the ECB in their efforts in order to avoid failure in this endeavour. The first thing to do is to bring the integration of the European economy to a higher and sustainable level. This is, however, a strategic question, in which the Council’s committed support is indispensable."@en1
