lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Van Rompuy, we are not looking today at the events of the last few months. We must keep to the subject in hand. We are considering the results of the Council meeting. What sort of an era are we living in? I expected to see a little more self-criticism today with regard to our actual weaknesses and more honesty in dealing with what is currently happening. The results of the Council summit do not correspond with the announcements made by Mr Sanchez Garido in Strasbourg. The Council is continuing to issue declarations of intent, instead of actually taking action. We spend our time here constantly watching what the Council is doing. I do not expect the Council to provide leadership on all issues. However, I do expect the Council not to hesitate, not to block measures, to support the Commission and to follow up announcements with actions as quickly as possible. Ladies and gentlemen, I also have a low opinion of the letter-writing method. These are not real actions. Around 24 hours before the summit, we received letters from Mrs Merkel and Mr Sarkozy. We have now received a letter from Mr Barroso and from Mr Van Rompuy addressed to themselves. We have received a letter from Mr Obama and one from Canada. We want actions and projects, not letters. I suggest that you write fewer letters and follow up your verbal initiatives with real, lasting actions. As for the Europe 2020 strategy, you should transform it into an instrument and a specific project for growth and employment. No firm decision has been made on the bank levy and we do not have a project for the G20. The transaction tax has been discussed, but there is no European project to introduce it. The financial supervisory body, the hedge fund regulations and the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) III have all been blocked by the trialogue, while in Basel, the Member States of the European Union are currently supporting a definition of capital favoured by the Americans and not by Europe. Let us take action and turn announcements into reality."@en1
