lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, President Barroso recently declared that adjustment programmes carried out by Member State governments must be sensible and carry social and political consensus to ensure such efforts are sustainable. I was left wondering if he had read the Commission’s annual growth survey for 2013 at all. It predicts a 0.1 % growth for Europe this year and it had predicted more of the same austerity measures that have been sucking the life out of our economies. Yet the Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Rehn has so far failed to give us any sign that he will pursue, or pause to ponder on, the IMF’s recent downgrading of growth forecasts, as well as the IMF reports acknowledging how their models consistently underestimated the recessionary effects of the structural adjustment policies demanded of countries such as Ireland. I have requested to meet with Commissioner Rehn, the IMF and the ECB to discuss this and learn how you intend to correct your approach. I am yet to hear back from you, Commissioner. I understand that you do have a very busy agenda, but these are crucial matters for the citizens most hurt by this crisis. They expect politics grounded in reality, not this pursuit of the same old models."@en1
