"Mr President, at this late hour, I would like to say a big thank you. Thank you to all my colleagues. I will not name them all, but nonetheless I will mention the Chair, the coordinators, the shadow rapporteurs and all those who have contributed to this task.
President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, the ball is now in your court. We have made proposals: please take them on board Commissioner. I am glad that you are acting on several of the proposals we have already made. Now, I am asking you for a commitment, the first on a long list in this road map that we have set out: carry out the audit of the public debt of Member States of the European Union. We need this so we know what action to take in the future.
Next, I wish to remind you of the objective of this report which we have drawn up together: the victims of this crisis must not be the ones who pay for it. Our goal is to reassert the sovereignty of politics, the sovereignty of citizens over the markets. That is what democracy is.
Some of you may be wondering: should we not use groups of experts? We have tried to do that. I would say to you: wisdom will come from those who vote, I hope in great numbers, for this report, and who will take its proposals forward so that they may become reality."@en1
