lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am grateful for everyone’s contributions to this debate, and particularly the summaries given by Commissioner Rehn and the President-in-Office of the Council, András Kármán. I would just like to stress one point: concessions have in fact been made on both sides, and I think we are very close to agreement, but I would not like them to fail to note the question of symmetry and asymmetry as an important issue that needs addressing. That and reverse qualified majority voting are points on which adjustments are still being made, and there is no conclusion on them yet. I am particularly grateful for Commissioner Rehn’s positive contribution but, if there is to be an agreement, it will have to be based on the legal text – on the articles section – including of course Article 32, Article 42 and recital 11-A, as has been widely debated. I would therefore be grateful if you would bear this issue in mind, because it is one that cuts across the interests of several Members of this House and several political groups, as you have seen. Having said that, I think the new factor of the analysis of macroeconomic imbalances can be useful. I apologise, Commissioner, not only for detecting problems of bubbles in the property or financial markets, but also for pointing out the importance of Europe’s major problem: the tensions generated by the completely divergent ways in which the economies that make up the euro area evolve. Right now these tensions are seriously threatening the existence of a common currency with a non-optimal monetary area, as was very well highlighted today by Mr García-Margallo y Marfil. The fact is that the European Union is imperfect and incomplete. What we are doing is not enough to make up for the faults that the European economy has at the moment, and I think that the caricature of blaming everything on the mistakes of the lazy, the lying and the wrong – compared with the virtuous who have no problems – is an extremely dangerous caricature that we must all avoid. After all, the history of Europe proves that simple explanations for complex problems never give good results. That, then, is the appeal that I am making here."@en1
