"This ‘economic governance package’ closes some of the gaps that exist in the area of real economic governance in the EU.
Although it is late in coming, Parliament believes it to be necessary, and it is a step in the direction that I support as a Europeanist and federalist. All the same, while the package does resolve some issues, it is still a timid solution, bearing in mind the scope of the crisis we are facing.
In that respect, I regret the slow progress made in the areas of financial market regulation (sovereign debt speculation, credit default swaps, controlling bank bonuses and hedge funds, and so on); European fiscal policy that harmonises corporation tax at the very least; and a policy that stimulates job creation.
We also regret the shy glance cast at the lost revenue that would be considerably higher if a serious attempt were made to combat tax evasion and fraud, and if the tax havens that still remain among us were closed. The report also fails to tackle the organisation of an independent European credit rating service.
In short, the European Parliament needs to play a greater role in the mechanism for budgetary surveillance and correction that we are adopting today."@en1
