"Mr President, listening to Mr Le Pen, it is clear how important it is that we act quickly. We know what the isolationist, nationalist Europe that Mr Le Pen wants has led to in European history, and that is not a Europe in which I want to live. I welcome these packages and the legislative proposals, and I believe they are necessary in order to see Europe and the euro area out of the crisis. We should also give those countries that are outside the euro area the opportunity to join eventually – that is a point on which we agree, Ms Vestager. The budgetary surveillance rules definitely need to be tightened up. In magazine, I saw a sinking ship with the caption: ‘Please can we start the engines now, Ms Merkel?’ Well, it is perhaps not such a stupid thing for this ship at least to float before the engines start up, and therefore I believe that those measures that we are now taking are essential to enable the boat to float, and then we will be able to make headway. That was our experience in Sweden during the 1990s: it was not a matter of austerity for austerity’s sake; it was a matter of providing the opportunity for growth, and I believe that this is a good proposal that will give Europe that opportunity."@en1
