Mr President, at this critical time for the European economy, the least one would expect from the European Union would be for it to speak in a coordinated manner. Instead, we have a storm of uncoordinated and often contradictory statements, interviews and opinions.
Everyone is talking: Council, Commission, Commissioners, ministers, deputy ministers, the Central Bank, associates, advisors, advisors’ advisors, assistants’ assistants; it is a real ‘European Babel’. This makes the markets nervous, reinforces uncertainty, increases distrust and erodes effectiveness. In Greece’s particular case, it is receiving simultaneous messages of solidarity and punishment, of support and threat, of optimism and catastrophe. This perpetual swinging back and forth is doing a great deal of harm. It is further disorienting an entire nation, an entire society, which is already at the end of its tether. We need to put an end to this European Babel and we need to do so now, today, not tomorrow. It would be good for Greece, good for Europe and good for Europe’s status, credibility and effectiveness."@en1
