"Mr President, we had to be on the brink of the economic abyss in order for the Heads of State or Government to understand that the way forward is not more nationalism but more Europe.
Some measures that have been adopted are aimed in this direction, such as the reduction in vetoing rights in the European Council or the seeds of a European public treasury.
Finally, albeit late in the day, we have realised that we are all in the same boat and there is no point dealing with individual situations, especially in an improvised way.
I wonder, however, whether this attitude is a digression, or conversely whether it is the start of real European economic governance, because what we do not need, ladies and gentlemen, is governance. What we need is authentic government, if we want to be true to the will of the founding fathers.
Parliament must therefore promote all the reforms aimed at strengthening Europe and make budgetary and fiscal discipline a reality, while forgetting about nostalgic sovereignty.
Ladies and gentlemen, strengthening the European Commission and strengthening Parliament is the only right recipe for building Europe, as otherwise, it would disappear like a thief in the night."@en1
