"Minister, of course, the Council conclusions and the 2020 strategy contain what endeavour to be optimistic messages. However, even in the budget which we passed today, when it comes to achieving the 2020 targets, I believe that – for example, in research and innovation – we have failed to respond and we will not be able to attain the targets we want with these figures.
We also see, however, that the Council is silent on the question of the massive north/south divide in the European Union. I am reminded of a recent statement by a senior officer of the European Union, the Eurogroup Chair, to the effect that large countries in the Union, such as France and Germany, knew about Greece’s problem – I mention this because you referred to Greece – and yet did nothing before now, because they gained massively from this situation.
Can we expect an initiative to address the north/south divide in the Union?"@en1
