It contains proposals for crisis resolution and budgetary discipline: in other words, only part of the picture. I would emphasise that these are only proposals. I am sure the ECOFIN Ministers who dominated the proce... | null |

Unfortunately, the last few days have been a disappointment. When the EU needs clear and stringent budget rules, France and Germany hesitate. This causes us concern. Our message is: leave Mr Rehn’s proposal alone! I would like to... | null |

I can tell you that together with f... | null |

First, I should like to thank the rapporteur, my fellow shadow rapporteurs and the chair of the committee, Mr Klintz, for the compromise that we at last managed to arrive at.

It really has done a great job and has made good recommendations and proposals. Of course, ideally, there would be a place for all of these in the documents being drafted by the Commission. It is essential that the Commission does not forg... | null |

Poverty is growing stead... | null |

The banking system remains unstable and a number of Member States face the threat of government deficits getting out of hand if nothing is done. Therefore, we urgently need an economic union. Mr President, the task force h... | null |

If we look at the consequences from a social viewpoint, we swiftly reach the conclusion – one that is driving much of the Commission’s work – that the worst is yet to come. Unemployment is set to increase a... | null |

Today, we have a clear message from the European Parliament in the Berès report and the Feio report. We need more current economic and fi... | null |

What is on the table for the so-called reform of the Stability and Growth Pact is no great answer; once again, it is the lowest common denominator – the small morsel that could act... | null |

On one side, are those who advocate a strong Community approach. On the other side, it is fair to say, are a minority in this Parliament who think that the European ... | null |

As has just been mentioned by the honourable Member from Spain, the problem of Germany’s orientation towards exports has not been addressed at all. Yet this is clearly a central problem, both in the euro a... | null |

Today, citizens are asking for the opposite: deeds, not words. We are hearing a lot of words, but our fellow citizens are not seeing results. The European Union’s slowness to res... | null |

However, the conclusion that we reached was that on certain issues – and this also happened with financial supervision – Parliament is able to unite and t... | null |

Traditional debt and deficit targets have been breached by many countries, but would not have warned us about the crisis pending in Spain or Ireland. Other measures are needed too. Economics, however, is not an exact science... | null |

It is important to understand the past and the causes of the crisis, and I think the Union has done its homework on that, but today, the focus must be on the future. The global and European economic governance we build is for tomorrow,... | null |

Earlier on, the President-in-Office of the Council stressed that globalisation means we have to act at European level and at international level.

That is correct, and that is why it is always worth checking to see if the train is on the right tracks, when speed is not an end in itsel... | null |

In Europe, I think the crisis has become one of integration.

There are high levels of growth in other parts of the world, but not in Europe and not in the US. More than anything else, this is rooted in overspending and lack of grow... | null |
