"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is time to take some bold decisions in this Europe if we want to do more than just survive. The crisis has severely disrupted normal life for European citizens and businesses and, if we do not react, it could mean that the quality of the social and cultural life, the welfare and the future of young people and Europeans, are irreversibly affected.
As well as creating valuable cohesion and prosperity, overcoming the crisis means finding solutions to the causes identified: solutions for tackling speculation, which should also be restricted where necessary through the introduction of strict rules for the financial markets; solutions for combating the recession; solutions for combating the imbalanced development model that has put individuals below profit; and solutions for combating the resurgence of nationalism, which is today preventing Europe from making the choices that it has to make.
Above all, it is time to provide tools and resources – new and old – so that we can forge ahead and start the engine of growth, with research, innovation, training and support for productive investment, infrastructure and jobs, because without jobs, people have no dignity or rights.
Thanks to Mrs Berès and other Members, this report outlines a possible strategy for a Europe that is proud and aware of its role. It is now up to Europe’s leaders, if they exist, to implement it."@en1
