".
I voted with conviction in favour of the compromise package on economic governance as negotiated by us with the Council. The package that emerged from the negotiations does provide quite a number of answers to the mistakes of the past, including when it comes to budgetary discipline. That in itself represents important progress. Nonetheless, my group and I still harbour reservations about some points, in particular when it comes to realising the preventive part of the Stability and Growth Pact. In order to be able to come up with an all-embracing agreement before the summer recess, it is important to give the negotiations with the Council over the coming weeks every chance and not send out any political signals that could jeopardise a positive end result. The package reflects a precarious political balance that I do not want to put at risk. For that reason I voted against some of the amendments. This should not be interpreted, however, as meaning that I do not fundamentally support some elements of these amendments. I am referring, in particular, to Amendment 9, which argues for convergence in the fiscal sphere. There are certainly elements of this that I could endorse, such as the financial transactions tax or the introduction of a consolidated EU corporate tax base."@en1
