"Mr President, Europe needs a resurgence of confidence and hope. In the crisis, which is not yet behind us, we have had fire-fighters, as Mr Delors has said. We hope that the Belgian Presidency will bring architects. The first test, of course, will be this September, when the Council considers Parliament’s proposals on the financial structure.
Yet, one of the greatest challenges Europe currently faces is guaranteeing that the European currency does not collapse, whether for lack of monitoring instruments or for lack of growth in the euro area, or especially due to the growing differences and internal tensions from the economies which constitute the euro area.
Cutting the structural funds now, which were created in order to stimulate convergence in economies that are diverging from one another, as the Commission proposes, is like sending fire-fighters to fan a fire that has not yet been extinguished. We clearly need architects.
One last question: I would like to know the external scope of EU action and, in particular, a little more about what the Belgian Presidency is proposing for Cancún and Doha."@en1
