"Mr President, the report provides a realistic analysis of the current situation in terms of falling production levels, higher unemployment, high levels of public debt and the need for extensive reforms to re-establish Europe’s competitiveness. It attaches greater importance to an integrated internal market, better fiscal coordination and the eradication of ineffective subsidies and financial aid.
I am extremely pleased that there is a chapter on small and medium-sized enterprises, which are very important for growth in Europe. That, of course, is not something that we would disagree on. Unfortunately, there are very few citizens in the Member States who want the ultra-federalist initiative that is, regrettably, also envisaged in the report. When I say this, I am, of course, thinking of paragraph 99 and amendments referring to the need for an EU budget corresponding to 5-10% of the Union’s GDP. This is an incredibly bad and irresponsible proposal that seriously overshadows the good proposals – it is out of step with what the majority of citizens in the Member States want."@en1
