"Mr President, it is easy to agree with much of what my fellow Members have said. For me and many others, this has actually been a question of a genuine concern about the future, a concern about how we are to get through the years ahead and the coming decade. It is important to remember that we have jointly succeeded in agreeing on a quite – or rather very – ambitious 2020 strategy for Europe – a strategy that is to take Europe forwards. However, it is naive to believe that such a strategy will finance itself or implement itself. It is surely also a given that this strategy and its successes will not merely be a question of money. Unfortunately, however, this will also come into play to a certain extent. Neither the Council nor the Commission have yet succeeded in presenting plans for the coming years with which we are sufficiently impressed, which is one of the reasons why we ended up in the state of conflict that we found ourselves in recently. I would like to say to the Council that you very much like to be included in the family portrait after having approved the Treaty of Lisbon and succeeded in agreeing on the 2020 strategy. All of the eminent people happily stand there and tell everyone how much they like Europe, but when it comes to doing something and actually implementing these things, the Council suddenly has problems. These are problems that are now reflected in the fact that we suddenly have a budgetary crisis, and these are problems that the Council, as pointed out here, ought to attend to and find solutions for, because the fact is that this is not just about next year’s budget; it is about the future. That is the political message that we have for the Council today."@en1
