"Mr President, in this age of austerity, when governments across the world and across the EU are having to tighten their belts and cut spending, it is important that we come up with initiatives for growth, and give confidence to our electorate that we are seeking ways for growth to create jobs.
At the last summit of EU leaders, in March this year, David Cameron and leaders from 11 other countries sent a letter to Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso calling for a deepening of the single market and an opening up of the services market. Surely it is time to promote initiatives which lead to growth in the services market? Let us not forget that services account for more than 70% of EU GDP, and it is important that we push for the completion of the single market to help consumers and to help businesses across the EU.
Unfortunately, the leaders of France and Germany rejected this and just carried on with the same old way, trudging on, not looking for ways to grow. It is important that they wake up and listen to the leaders who signed that letter."@en1
