"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we fully agree on the need to stress the importance of sound and rigorous fiscal policies and we also agree on the preventive monitoring of budgets, which will allow EU institutions to monitor and to act in a timely and appropriate manner where a Member State fails to comply with the parameters. On these policies, we are in full agreement. In this way, we would be acting
as the EU has failed to do in this crisis – on sovereign debt. We are therefore in agreement on these policies.
We will also be sending out a clear signal that the speculation occurring – which is an international phenomenon – must be curbed. We do need a system of effective regulations. That said, this system of rules must be combined with measures to support growth and development that act on both demand and supply. On this point, I think we are duty bound to hold a debate. These are two parallel axes which can and must intersect. We must therefore put growth at the centre by implementing effective and efficient measures.
In today’s debate, we must also not forget the political facts, because otherwise, we run the risk of simply kidding ourselves. This Chamber must make this its priority again, even overriding state systems. If we really believe in Europe, we need to think about the common good and the good of Europe. An ill wind is blowing, bringing with it nationalism and demagogy, riding on people’s fears. Here we have to show that the interests of the people are more important than partisan ones."@en1
