"Mr President, Europe is at a turning point and has a duty to deal ambitiously and proactively with an economic and financial crisis which is, of course, greatly affecting European citizens. I would like to welcome Commissioner Barnier’s initiative; he deserves to be congratulated for the method he has used and which he intends to roll out during the years to come. I also welcome the change in the Commission’s approach regarding the internal market. One feels a sense of purpose, a will to work together for the success of this fine project that is the internal market.
Concerning the content, I am glad to see that the external dimension of our internal market is at last being considered, both in terms of promoting our industries and in terms of defending our citizens. It is only by being strong internally that we will be able to influence matters externally. You see, I, like you, am a firm believer in the internal market, but not any old one, and that is why I will end with this quote by Jacques Delors, who said: ‘I reject a Europe that would be just a market, a free-trade area, without a soul, without a conscience, without political will and without a social dimension.’ With this Single Market Act, we have this political will and this soul."@en1
