"The Europe 2020 strategy is a very important strategy, especially now, at a time of growing financial and economic crisis. This crisis has spotlighted such fundamental questions and negative processes that if we do not integrate these into our strategy, this may jeopardise the success of our economic policy. We must not allow the prestige of the euro to be damaged, but must do all we can for the sustainability of monetary union. I represent the last country to join the euro area. Slovakia’s citizens consider the introduction of the euro a success story and therefore it is contributing as well to the protection of the euro with every means available. We must raise awareness that the monetary crisis may have serious political consequences. These may include increased euroscepticism and uncertainty among those countries that are preparing to enter the euro area. We need to help and encourage those countries that have not yet introduced the single currency. In devising the EU 2020 strategy, policies that guarantee sustainable development must be given a major role. Although work on energy diversification solutions in Central Europe is in progress, there must also be increased use of alternative energy sources in order to reduce climate change. We must also make people aware that the capacity of current alternative energy sources is finite. From the perspective of our long-term energy security, nuclear energy is the solution that can guarantee a sufficient amount of energy with the lowest levels of carbon dioxide emissions and, therefore, we must place great emphasis on the related question of the safe storage and production of fuel. Providing impetus for further research into modern energy technologies, such as the innovation involving fusion-based reactors, is also indispensable. Many important questions arise that we wish to incorporate into our strategy, and we are faced with the major task of improving the coordination and integration of various areas. It is only by doing this that we can ensure that, in addition to a monetary union, the all important economic union will also be achieved."@en1
