"Mr President, Commissioner, Europe is in a difficult situation, but it is precisely in times of crisis that the EU is usually able to take bold decisions. The fact that tomorrow we will be able to take a decision on stricter and clearer rules for economic governance is extremely important, not just for the countries within the euro area. Everyone will be affected. Europe’s leaders have hesitated and created uncertainty. The nervousness has spread. Their message changed from day to day. The decision tomorrow will be able to demonstrate that Parliament is able to take difficult decisions in difficult times. Greece used deceit to enable it to join the euro area. That is true. That is precisely why the German and French leaders are now showing clear leadership and taking responsibility for Europe’s future, rather than continuing to talk in unclear, muted tones. The Stability and Growth Pact must be reformed and the rules tightened up. agreements must be kept – not a new Greece! In Sweden, we know that the way to stability and growth is through healthy state finances. Mr Bullman can ask the Swedish members of his group. It is my hope that the Swedish Social Democrats will be able to support this proposal, particularly as we have managed to get rules through that safeguard the Swedish collective agreements. Now the last impediment is being removed to enable the Swedish Social Democrats to be instrumental in Sweden becoming a member of the Euro Plus Pact. If Sweden is to belong to the EU’s inner circle, we cannot simply trudge along behind EU critics from Hungary, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. That is not good company to keep."@en1
