"As a European citizen, I wish to express my strong support for the objectives of the European Union’s Belgian Presidency. In actual fact, we must fight together to overcome the economic crisis which is having a severe impact on broad groups of people.
I believe that the creation and development of economic governance mechanisms in Europe are an absolute must. However, it is more important for us to support them with political solidarity in order to achieve concrete results as soon as possible. In fact, we have the opportunity to put into practice the solidarity clauses in the Treaty of Lisbon.
Against the backdrop of the EU 2020 strategy and bearing in mind the objective to reduce poverty and the disparities between regions, we must absolutely encourage innovation, research, development and competition.
The new EU strategy for the Danube region offers us the chance to utilise countless opportunities, including the links provided by the Rhine-Main-Danube corridor in Europe between the ports in Belgium and Romania. This may result in the economic and social development of the entire Danube region, entailing a beneficial impact on local and regional communities.
I also believe that we must continue our efforts to enlarge the Schengen area, in keeping with the established timetable. As I come from a country situated at the EU’s border, I also wish to emphasise the need for visible progress to be made with regard to the Eastern Partnership and the European Union’s enlargement process."@en1
