"Mr President, Mr Trichet, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, clearly, I join the chorus of praise for the ECB’s work, and I shall not repeat what my colleague, Mr Balz, said or what is said in the resolution. In the short time allotted to me, I would simply like to say that we must consider our fellow citizens.
Why do I say that in this way today? Because, yesterday evening, on all the French television channels, a future presidential candidate made a spectacle of himself by tearing up a EUR 10 note that he had photocopied and enlarged, and showing that, by tearing up that note, he was tearing up the cause of all our ills.
Of course, that is not true. All that is needed is for us to make an effort, together, to communicate. The work that has been carried out in terms of supervision, organisation and regulation, to which you have referred, Mr President, is excellent. You know you have Parliament’s support: you said so yourself. However, we have a real task on our hands with regard to those of our fellow citizens who do not understand the messages that are being conveyed.
Every day, the headlines in the press are of increasingly grim solutions and unlikely situations, and I can tell you that, on Friday, when I was out in the field, as we say in politics, I saw nearly 100 to 150 people. They all asked me the same question: what is going to happen with the euro? The fear felt by our fellow citizens is out of sync with what is being done, and done well, by the European Central Bank."@en1
