lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the moment has now arrived in this crisis, which is not only European but also global, when we must have truth and clear-headedness and when responsibility must be taken. Global governance is being established. What influence will Europeans have? How are we going to influence this global governance if we are incapable of establishing our own European governance? Nobody could have failed to see that, after 50 years of integration, increasing national selfishness was putting us at risk of 50 years of disintegration. Nobody could have failed to see that we were trying to create citizenship without the citizens, to conduct politics without the voters, to establish faith in the ideal of a rule of law without complying with it. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, we reunified our continent with a belief in our strength but we were too proud to see our weaknesses. And what is happening now? The crisis is hitting us full in the face at a time when our European integration is fragile and comprises poorly governed and, in some cases, corrupt States. The chain of solidarity in the Union is currently being tested, and we all know that the strength of a chain is that of its weakest link. We are right to save the weakest, because the time has come, and it will be our strength that saves them. It is not EU regulations that are inadequate but their implementation by Member States and the European Commission, which has not adequately monitored the States, which has been defective. It is not less Europe that we need, it is more Europe, but a Europe of truth, clear-headedness and responsibility. Of course, we have to respect the Stability and Growth Pact, which must be reformed. Yet the task facing us now is to regain the trust of our citizens, which means ensuring growth and jobs. Growth means investment. If the public sector does not invest, we cannot expect the private sector to do so. In addition to a crucially important industrial policy, I propose, for the 10 years of the EU 2020 strategy, a major EUR 1 000 billion European investment plan aimed at making the EU territory the most competitive in the world in terms of trans-European networks, infrastructure, interconnections, high-speed trains, broadband services, motorways, water, space, research, health, energy, and education, and achieved through a reform of our budgetary support measures, in cooperation with all the public stakeholders and, in particular, the EIB."@en1
