"Mr President, I supported this report as part of the economic governance package and I was particularly pleased to see in Article 1 that the coordination of economic policies in the Union will, among other things, aim at achieving sustainable growth and social cohesion. This is crucially important for all of us because our policies should in the final analysis achieve growth and social cohesion, otherwise we are wasting our time.
I support the proposals on the European Monetary Fund. They certainly go further than what is being accepted by the Council and I think finally begin to address the elephant in the room. It is crucial that we do this, otherwise we are just seen as irrelevant and we are just not dealing with the reality of the situation.
It is also important that in all of these proposals deliberations will take place in public and that citizens will have an opportunity to scrutinise what is happening and be aware of decisions taken in their name.
Finally, I agree with my colleague Mr Uggias, when he talks about fairness. This is not just about deficits, it is also about surpluses. If we are to be part of a common currency, then we have common responsibilities."@en1
