"When we talk about economic policy in Europe today, we almost exclusively refer to financial policy. We do so despite the fact that the financial sector is but a very small segment of economic policy. We, both as EU decision-makers and as national legislators, should be discussing economic policy in its entirety, and should take our decisions after weighing every one of the means it offers. Economic policy is indeed about more than just financial steps. It should provide guidance to industry, make way for innovation and R&D, and encourage investment. It should take care of the three I’s: innovation, industry and investment. If we do not decide as soon as possible about the direction the economic role of the European Union should take, it will be exceedingly difficult in these crisis-hardened times to guarantee common, effective and successful action. We carry a responsibility for the generations to come and it is we who must now ensure a secure future for them. For that, we will need innovation, a once again solid European industrial policy, and incentives for investment."@en1
