lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Wammen, Commissioners, what I would like to say is very clear: naturally, the Portuguese Members in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) fully support any measures that might contribute to growth. There is no chance of emerging from this crisis without promoting growth, especially in those countries hit hardest by the financial crisis. However, when I hear some fellow Members here, I sometimes get the impression that they think growth can continue with excessive deficits and bad public accounts. We must press ahead with the spending cuts and structural reforms. We can do everything possible on the growth side, but we cannot abandon the path of containing and reducing public spending and of structural reforms. More growth cannot mean being less careful and easing up: more growth and more growth policies must go hand in hand with greater rigour in relation to the public accounts and to structural reforms. If we just start talking about growth and thinking there are magic solutions to growth, we will end up back with unsustainable public debt and will carry on without the structural reforms. That said, I should like to draw attention to the fact that tomorrow’s summit will not just debate the issue of long- or medium-term growth: the urgent issue of Greece will also be on the table and I consider it crucial that the Member States get behind Greece in some way. We are responsible for finding a solution to the Greek problem and I should like to repudiate here the statement by the British Member who spoke about the ‘Portugalisation’ of Europe. Perhaps the Portugalisation of Europe, in terms of values at least, would be no bad thing. I therefore reject this idea of trying, at bottom, to humiliate or belittle any people. We are all Europe and we all have a place herein."@en1
