"Mr President, my first question is directed to the Prime Minister of Luxembourg. You are now a member of this circle of Heads of State or Government of the euro area, which is pursuing the policy of intergovernmentalisation that you have just criticised. In other words, you are now a member of the club of intergovernmentalists. We have heard from you that you are nothing of the sort, but I must now hold you responsible for your esteemed colleagues with whom you regularly meet. I would like to ask Mr Juncker for his response to the fact that the President of the Eurogroup, in other words, the finance minister of the euro area, is to be kicked out and replaced with a function not provided for in the European Treaties, namely, the President of the European Council of the 27 Member States – as I understand it, although I may have misread the Treaty, this is Mr Van Rompuy, the President of the 27 Heads of State or Government. In a declaration of autonomy, the 17 Heads of State or Government, yourself included, have now stated that Mr Van Rompuy should also head up the euro area or the economic governance of the euro area. My question to the Prime Minister of Luxembourg is as follows: how is it that this function is not to be transferred to the President of the Eurogroup, who is actually predestined for this role and who, I believe, on the evidence of his actions to date, is exactly the right person for this position?"@en1
