". Mr President, I would like to begin by thanking both presidents, Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso, for their efforts and the results which were achieved at this European Council meeting. It was exactly what was expected. Some people are certainly not happy. However, what matters now, in order to regain credibility with respect to the markets, is for the results of this European Council to be implemented as quickly as possible, without hesitation. This is also, I would stress, so that we can begin to see tangible results in implementing the adjustment programmes of the two countries, Greece and Italy. Achieving progress in implementing these programmes will greatly enhance the European Union’s credibility in the eyes of the financial markets. It is obviously Europe’s citizens who will continue to make sacrifices because tighter budgetary discipline will also entail measures for reducing budget deficits in European Union Member States. I would like to highlight again that, while ordinary citizens are making sacrifices, there are companies operating in the European Union which are, however, domiciled in tax havens and continue not to pay taxes in European Union Member States. I call on the Council and European Commission not to drop this matter. We need to reach the situation where companies registered in Member States, which are unwilling to be transparent and are registered with profits in tax havens, should no longer be able to carry out transactions in any of the Member States."@en1
