"Mr President, the Council decisions illustrate that progress has been made and that we are already part of the way there. Of course there are often disagreements. We all want less tension, but there are no easy, magic formulae. Decisions need to be taken both at European level and within the Member States.
Structural changes will help, especially in countries such as mine. It is the only way to address its current crisis and generate hope for growth. The fiscal compact, the European Semester and decisions on increasing employment can, and must, guide us forward.
Europe has an historic awareness of the interests of its citizens and will not allow the economic crisis to overpower it in the long term. The ideological content of our common struggle and the efforts to generate growth may give hope to the young people of Europe. What is important is that sacrifices must bear fruit.
I would like to point out that the Greek people are willing to make such huge sacrifices because they are not prepared to jeopardise their membership of the European Union and the euro area, whatever various ‘Cassandras’ may claim."@en1
