"Madam President, for many months now, we have been having an ongoing debate about the future of the European economy. The measures proposed by the European Commission are being implemented hastily, only to be found inadequate after some time. Today’s debate suggests that a similar situation is taking place in the case of the European Semester.
At this point however, I would like to express my concern with regard to the calls for the division of the European Parliament into a group of Members who are included in the work relating to overcoming the crisis and a group of Members who are excluded from this process. Attempts to create a two-tier Europe at all levels still exist. Depriving Members from non-euro area Member States of the right to decide about the fate of the single currency is likely to contribute to the entrenchment of divisions rather than to the creation of effective solutions. We should not forget that the majority of these Member States aim to adopt the euro at some stage, and that they are equally interested in improving the mechanisms governing Economic and Monetary Union as are the other Member States.
Currently, we require more cohesion and closer cooperation. The crisis is affecting all Member States. Parliament does not represent Member States or the euro area; it represents all the citizens of the European Union, and the existence of a single currency determines the fate not only of the residents of France, Germany or Greece, but also of the countries striving to adopt it."@en1
