"Mr President, Mr Rehn, I wish to congratulate Werner Hoyer on his brilliant debut in his new job.
Mr Hoyer, this is not an easy time for the European Union. This economic and financial crisis calls for adroit economic and political expertise. You have both in good measure. The European Parliament is happy to see you at the helm of the European Investment Bank (EIB). I would also like to thank the outgoing Vice-President, Matthias Kollatz-Ahnen, however, as he has also achieved a great deal. As an example, I would mention the establishment of the European Energy Efficiency Fund. Mr Hoyer, the role of your bank is decisive in overcoming the crisis. We are all aware of this. You have also proven this. I would cite the example of how you overcame the crisis in the automotive sector. Thanks to the scrapping premiums, which were mainly paid for by your bank, we managed to do something good for the environment, while also providing a stimulus for the economy.
We are now facing new challenges. We have heard several references to the issue of project bonds. We are constantly talking about the innovative financial instruments we expect from your bank. We need clear rules, however; we expect your bank to issue clear rules for all Member States. We wish you every success in your efforts to obtain a triple-A rating for the bank. As stated in our report, for which I would like to thank Ms Ivanova, we would like to see the EU becoming a shareholder. This may perhaps be a step in the right direction. I wish you all the best for the work ahead."@en1
