"Mr President, Mr Van Rompuy, ladies and gentlemen, I understand that Ms Harms of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance is a little tired of comparisons with football, but I think that one in particular might help us. Euro 2012 ended with a clear result: Spain won. The European Council ended but the results are not clear, because if we read the papers in the various Member States, each country is claiming a different result, and each prime minister of the participating Member States is claiming a different result. Mr Van Rompuy, can you tell us what you agreed on? Do you think that 500 million European citizens have the right to know what you agreed on? Please tell us, President of the Council, but think carefully, because how the markets open tomorrow, too, depends on what you say. Think carefully, because the survival of my country’s government depends on what you say. For a long time, the survival of our countries’ governments has depended on what you say. I think also that 60 million Italians who, via the Prodi and Berlusconi governments, have made budgetary adjustments amounting to EUR 145 billion, and who, via the Monti government, are making sacrifices amounting to several billions of euro, have the dignity and the right to be given precise answers. We therefore want to know, in specific detail, what was agreed in the Council and what obligations there are for the Member State governments, which are today bombarding us with contradictory statements. Is Finland bound? Is the Netherlands bound? Are we bound by what we set out as an agreement or not?"@en1
