"The EU has been facing serious economic and financial difficulties, obliging some Member States to request outside help so as to ensure the sustainability of their public accounts. Although a number of areas of society need reform, I believe there is a need to adopt long-term measures that will put the EU on the path to economic growth, job creation and wealth generation. I believe that only joint European effort will enable the creation of strategic synergies among Member States, and a move away from the budgetary austerity stage towards a new economic growth stage. I agree with the words of the President of the European Commission that there is a need to move from actions to words, gearing the EU budget towards investment in growth and employment. I would congratulate the Commission on the European policies it has been promoting, particularly the European Semester, the reallocation of EUR 82 billion from the EU funds, and increased support for Europe’s 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises and for youth employability. I should also like to express my hope for, and confidence in, the European project’s future: I believe increased economic and financial integration will enable us to make our societies safer and to assert Europe as the world’s major power."@en1
