"Madam President, I should like to compliment the Commission on the proposals it has presented – those of Commissioners Rehn and Barnier – and the direction it has chosen, as the financial markets are still putting the European Union’s decisiveness to the test. To the Council, I would say that Parliament will be challenging it to really take the decisions necessary to strengthen European economic governance, as this is something we are concerned about. Look at the Council’s position on European financial supervision. It needs to show much greater willingness to meet Parliament halfway. We are willing to reach compromises. I call on the Council to go to the summit and demand the commitment of the Heads of State or Government. After all, if it does not make a move, we shall lose precious time and may struggle to actually get the supervisory authorities working by 1 January. In today’s vote, Parliament will be showing broad support for two important resolutions. We want to see a key role for the European Commission, more of the Community method and a strengthening of the Stability and Growth Pact, which fortunately the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, too, now means to support; something that is of great importance at this difficult time. I would say to both the Council and the Commission that we also call on you to take the institutional role of this House, our democratic role, more seriously and to also involve it in this process."@en1
