"Mr President, confidence in Europe’s ability to solve its debt problems seems to be crumbling ever further and this is now also affecting our fragile economic recovery. The euro is our common currency: a single currency which Mr Madlener also wants to keep, but he is unwilling to learn the hard lesson that only common solutions will work. The six-pack will bring a radical reform of our common governance in Europe. I am optimistic and I am confident, perhaps more confident than Mr Verhofstadt, that the Council has the requisite flexibility to clear the last few hurdles. Because we really
approve the six-pack this month and no later and then move decisively further down this road. It will bolster the role of the Commission as an independent authority and lend democratic accountability to the Council and this House. President Barroso, you must show more initiative in further reinforcing the European institutional structure. Reinforcing our competitiveness is also important. Because unemployment, youth unemployment, is rising and we have to send out an important signal to our citizens: we need to implement the EU 2020 agenda in practice, and the project bonds, and the EIB has to boost investment. This is also about the Commission’s persistence, because our SMEs, our entrepreneurs, are running up against many obstacles which, according to the European legislation, ought to have been cleared away long ago. Our internal market must become a reality."@en1
