lpv:translated text	"Mr President, last year was an extremely turbulent one for the euro area. It began with Slovakia’s entry to the Eurogroup, and ended with huge economic and financial problems in Greece. During this period, the world experienced its biggest economic crisis for years. Discussions are currently under way on how to cope with the new challenges, what direction the global economy should take and what European Union policy should be. The resolution we are considering at the moment is part of this debate. I would like to draw attention to one aspect of it. Ladies and gentlemen, the economic crisis, the problems in Greece, and also the current debate on assistance for Greece, show that the division into the new and the old Europe is still a reality. Last Friday, the head of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, referred to the idea of creating a mechanism of support for countries in the euro area which are struggling with financial problems. According to the head of the Commission, the principles and conditions which would govern the use of this instrument should be established only by members of the euro area. I would like to take the opportunity of this debate to give my strong support to the position of the Commissioner for Financial Programming and Budget, Mr Lewandowski, and Professor Jan Rostowski, the Polish Minister for Finance. I would like to add my voice to their appeal, and also to the opinion of many fellow Members, that all Member States, including those which are outside the euro area, should now, already, take an active part in measures to strengthen the euro area and create aid instruments for its members. Poland, which is one of the countries outside the euro area, will soon adopt the common currency, and we would like, today, to be responsible for the future form of the Eurogroup. Therefore, let us not exclude the new Member States from such an important debate. We have had the ‘two-speed Europe’ slogan. Let us not now divide Europe into a Europe in the euro area and a Europe outside the euro area, because we are a single Union. Finally, I would like to give my wholehearted support to all parts of the resolution which call on the European Central Bank, the European Commission and members of the Eurogroup to support the process of euro area enlargement – enlargement based on the current criteria. I would also like to thank the President of the European Central Bank, Mr Trichet, for his good work, especially this year, which has been such a difficult one for Europe."@en1
