"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this Council meeting looked at three highly important matters: the environmental and nuclear disaster that has struck Japan, the financial crisis that is sweeping across Europe and the situation in the Maghreb.
On the first point, despite being supportive of a population that has been so badly hit, we cannot agree to revise trade agreements to the detriment of our own businesses. Instead, we are in favour of humanitarian intervention, providing equipment, people and money.
Thinking that the financial crisis is over is pure fantasy. It is essential to set out a package of assistance to help Member States escape the current situation, thereby ensuring stability across the whole euro area. We also support the reduction of regulatory and bureaucratic burdens, as well as the promotion of trade with third countries –as long as it brings mutual benefits.
We think the European Union has given a terrible account of itself on the Maghreb issue, since each Member State acted independently and Baroness Ashton, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, did not know how to manage the crisis. In particular, the European Union has abandoned Italy to an uncontrolled invasion of illegal migrants."@en1
