"Mr President, we cannot anticipate crises and nor will we be able to prevent another one from happening in the future. We are in pretty good company on this, if that is any consolation. However, our punishment should be to learn the lessons that the crisis has given and to use all the opportunities it has generated. For this we – the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council – have no other choice but to work hand in hand and to convert those lessons into the wise, smart and truly European policies that citizens need. I am convinced we do not have the luxury of being patient, and a sense of urgency should be with us all the time. There is a high risk that the financial and real economic crisis might turn into a public-debt crisis. That is why there is nothing more urgent today than to find a new source of economic, social and political energy to start growing in a sustainable way. The new Treaty makes it clear where that energy should come from: Europe is much more than the European institutions and national governments. Its tasks are shared between the European, national, regional and local levels of governance, and I believe that we can re-energise Europe by taking seriously its multi-level governance system to provide EU 2020 delivery mechanisms. The regional and local levels of European governance are important co-owners of Europe’s future. They are capable of harnessing not only the growing number of policy tools which they have at their disposal, but also the enthusiasm of all the partners which Europe needs: business, academia and civil society. They are also able to translate common European goals into their own territorial growth and job strategies. Europe will only be able to do its job if we truly understand that European tasks and responsibilities must be shared in a well-orchestrated way between European, national, regional and local levels of governance. Engaging local and regional Europe into the pursuit of common European objectives within the EU 2020 framework enlarges Europe’s potential and our chances for growth."@en1
