"Mr President, I supported the report by Sylvie Goulard. As with other reports encompassing the six pack this morning, it does not purport to solve our current problems. Part of that roadmap was articulated by President Barroso this morning. I think, for the first time, we had some hope injected into the debate and some reality, but of course now what we need is action and we are still waiting for it.
As far as this report is concerned, I was happy to see that Article 9 of TFEU is included, under which the Union will take into account requirements linked to the promotion of a high level of employment, the guarantee of adequate social protection and the fight against social exclusion. These are fine words of course, but we have a responsibility in this Parliament to do all we can to translate them into reality.
I was also very pleased to see flexibility in this report, where it states that a possibility will be provided by the Council to reduce or cancel the sanctions imposed on a Member State on the basis of a Commission proposal following a reasoned request by the Member State concerned. That kind of flexibility will be very important for Member States and, in this context, I would like to specifically mention my own country, Ireland."@en1
