"Madam President, decisions were taken at the most recent European Council that were still unthinkable a year ago and I would therefore like to offer my sincere thanks to Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso. It is an important step, but it is also a step on a very difficult road that we have to go down in order to restore confidence in the euro and in our economy so as to get out of this crisis by promoting economic growth and jobs. This House – you said it – has a co-legislative role in respect of the legislative package to strengthen economic governance. We want to see more ambition in the package and you should enter into discussions with Parliament in the forthcoming period in that regard. We believe that we need stronger and more ambitious financial support that builds on the Commission’s proposals. You have already heard various Members say that we want to see a more robust Stability and Growth Pact with a reverse voting mechanism. Secondly, much stronger socio-economic coordination is needed. That involves more than the ‘commitments’ of the Euro Plus Pact, as the principles of our social market economy are anchored in the Europe 2020 Strategy. It involves a greater commitment to elaborating on those principles in order to promote growth and jobs for our citizens. We want to anchor these objectives in the national reform programmes – and I have heard Mr Barroso talk about this – and we should bring forward proposals to that effect. You have said this, and indeed emphasised it, with a view to having these points already concluded on obtaining an agreement in June. As far as we are concerned you can already get to work on getting the Council moving, at least in relation to these points, which would then make an agreement in June possible."@en1
