lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, first of all I would say to those of us who would like to invent new institutions, new rules and new funds, I do not think we can solve the problems that have come from not respecting rules by creating new rules. We need to respect the rules we have. One of the big lessons to be learnt from this crisis is that we should never have allowed the deficits to emerge as we have let them do. Secondly, we – all of us – allowed this, because we softened the rules, and I know who was in the lead in softening them up. If I might be critical, I prefer ambitious reforms before ambitious ambitions. I think that there is a bit too much talk about ambitions and too little talk about action. When there is talk about action I note that the Commission and sometimes the Council talk about what Member States should do rather than what we could do together in the European Union. I welcome a task force, but we should not waste too much time because we know a number of the concrete actions that we should take: decrease and eliminate red tape; ensure that we invest more at European level on research and science; change the budget so that it allows for more growth and innovation; ensure that we can advance further with the knowledge economy by implementing the Services Directive and expanding the Services Directive to new areas; ensure that we have mobility in the labour market; ensure that we develop the financial markets to make them more stable, but not protectionist – because I would like to say to the Commission that creating new protectionism regarding financial markets does not help the European economy. If we destroy opportunities for a transatlantic capital market, it does not help Europe. So we know what to do. It would be good to have a task force but it would be even better without it."@en1
