"Mr President, we have heard words here from the President-in-Office of the Council and the President of the European Commission, about dissent in Europe and about the need for responsibility and solidarity and a return to growth, social prosperity, jobs and an integrated response to the problems.
The euro and the steps taken in Europe were political decisions. They were taken by our leaders. They were not random developments and it is only with political decisions that we can respond to the crisis. Therefore, yes, we must abide by the Community method. Support from the Union is a political decision and we condemn any speculators ready to take advantage of unfortunate and inaccurate statements. We have instruments to deal with the crisis and we can create more. We have the European Semester and its evaluation, project bonds and Eurobonds, the EU 2020 strategy, the multiannual financial framework, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stability Mechanism and we have a European Commission which, based on the institutions, can and must take initiatives. Therefore, no one is asking for powers to be taken away from governments; however, the three institutions must work together on this question.
As far as Greece is concerned, it is not the only problem in the euro area. I should like to say to everyone who has said that Greece will default that our country will not default. It will not default because the Greek people are prepared to make sacrifices, not only for their own sake, but for the sake of their obligations within the European Union."@en1
