"Mr President, the euro crisis is spreading like wildfire and attention is again focused on the hot spots that are still ablaze. This frightens our citizens and I understand that very well.
However, we have made great progress. We have a fire brigade that had to turn out for the Spanish banks last weekend. More than that, however, we need to try to get the euro house in order structurally. We have made important progress on that front, too, though we are still far from there. It is our task, as well as that of this Parliament as legislator, to contribute vigorously and resolutely to strengthening the foundations of the euro. Our group is in favour of that.
To Mr Madlener and the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), I want to say that fairytales do not exist. We cannot throw Europe overboard; what we can do is preserve prosperity and jobs for our citizens. That fairytale does not exist and that is why we need to resolutely persevere.
We have made significant steps towards a budgetary and an economic Union; with the ‘six-pack’, the Fiscal Compact, and – Commissioner Rehn is right – the ‘two-pack’, under which the community method is crucial. With these mechanisms, the Commission can intervene if the situation in a particular country gets out of hand. This package as a whole is important for the structural solution, for structural recovery of confidence. I hope that tomorrow, a broad majority in this House will be prepared to take responsibility for that.
Mr President, Ms Thyssen is right. This package offers a ‘both together’ scenario, but it is also focused on sustainable growth and jobs with the crucial building blocks. I hope, Commissioner Rehn, that the Council will also respect the community method. We will dedicate ourselves to that cause."@en1
