"We have introduced new ground rules which will strengthen the Stability and Growth Pact. In specific terms, we have given Europe the means to monitor and penalise, where necessary, those States that are the most spendthrift. We have provided an outline of European economic governance, in partnership with all the countries. The voting of this legislative package was a matter of political responsibility towards our fellow citizens and our economies. It also sent a strong message to the financial markets. I welcome the announcement made in advance of this vote by the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, to introduce a tax on financial transactions, something that President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chancellor Angela Merkel have been wanting for some considerable time. We, unlike the French socialist MEPs, assume our responsibilities. All Member States have gone beyond partisan divisions to support these principles. Furthermore, I can observe the extent of the divisions within the European left between those who are in office in their countries and who are realistic, and those who still look at the world through party-political glasses."@en1
