lpv:translated text	"My question is to Jean-Claude Juncker. Whether you are answering as the Luxembourg Prime Minister or as President of the Eurogroup, I do not care. We need to stop beating around the bush. The problem is this: we will not solve anything by creating institution after institution. Either the Commission works – in other words, economic governance – and it is up to it to carry out the decisions of the Council and European Parliament, or you do not agree with the Commission and you are not happy with it – you proposed it, but you are not happy with it – so let us discuss changing the Commission. However, we need to stop those who may have been responsible for proposing bad presidents of the Commission from creating parallel institutions. I do not see why the President of the Commission cannot now be in the driving seat for economic governance. Why would Mr Barroso not do as well as Mr Van Rompuy? We have heard nothing intelligent from Mr Van Rompuy since he became EU President! Why should it be Mr Van Rompuy who drags us out of the slump we all find ourselves in? My question is simple: why not reinforce the Commission’s ability to direct governance? Mr Verhofstadt is quite right: if we want economic governance in Europe, then we need to work on it continuously every day. And I mean every day! I do not really see the point of a meeting every six months. Whether they go to Deauville or somewhere else, it is pointless. They can play casino if they want but stop thinking they are going to solve Europe’s problems. I call for the Commission to be reinforced: the Commission and the EU executive, and not Mr Van Rompuy."@en1
