"I must admit that this is the most worrying debate I have taken part in since the start of my mandate in June 2009. I have listened to the Polish Presidency’s representative and my concern has deepened. I have listened to the President of the Commission and the feeling has got worse. They are both asking us to support the proposed measures in front of our citizens.
What arguments should we have when unemployment reaches 15%? What should we say to the young people who cannot find a job in their own country and can no longer get into Spain where well over a million Romanians used to work until now? The social market economy and fair society are concepts which no longer mean anything to young people in London, Madrid, Berlin, Bucharest and, above all, Athens.
Mr Barroso mentioned credibility. I believe that this is the key response. It is complicated but not impossible to re-establish credibility. At the start of this mandate, I wished the President of the Commission the power of David and the wisdom of Solomon. Unfortunately, my wish was a kind of prophecy, defeated here in Strasbourg, because we all know that as a Romanian MEP, I was unable to be a prophet in my own land, Romania, which is still outside the euro area."@en1
