"My remarks are addressed to President Van Rompuy and President Barroso. Last week’s Council was not a failure, much less a huge success. However, the dissent of one country attracted much more attention than the agreement reached by the other 26. I think the latter aspect needs to be emphasised more strongly. Important decisions were made and politicians finally took action after months of inactivity, as they realised there was a need for a number of measures that Parliament had been calling for for months. Now is the time to put them into practice. The focus is on fiscal and budgetary discipline and on control by the EU institutions. Quite rightly, we need to go back to having rules on budgetary discipline, and procedures must be automatic. I have noticed, however, that Parliament is hardly ever mentioned, and I hope this can be remedied in the work to be done over the coming weeks. We must not forget growth, though, because if we adopt strict rules on government budgets and also call for rigorous structural reforms, we must also implement measures for growth. In addition, we must consider Eurobonds in the various forms that have been proposed, and I hope they can become part of the package in the near future."@en1
