That is where the strong approach was implemented. I believe there is an unjustified complacency prevailing in this Parliament, and that we need to talk things over genuinely and find other ways. The new Member States, including my own country, have so far squandered the opportunities they had. The awakening will clearly not come until we encounter even greater challenges.
