lpv:translated text	"Madam President, when we go out and meet with citizens, we are more and more frequently hearing the question: ‘why are you debating structures in Europe instead of solving the crisis?’ I now see that we are once again guilty of contemplating our structures rather than considering what we should do to resolve the problems that we have. I am among those who believe that it is possible to solve the current crisis with the instruments that we already have in place. It was not so long ago, more specifically, only a month ago, that we approved the legislative package of which the European Semester also forms part. It is easy for us to focus already on what is wrong with it instead of using it to our advantage to actually tackle the economic concerns that we have. There is certainly a need for a general and open debate, here in Parliament, for example, on the Commission’s recommendations. However, to condemn the system at this stage is not a particularly wise thing to do in my opinion, because we have not actually seen any tangible results from it. A lot of sensible things have also been said here today, for example, concerning the fact that the Commission has every reason to reflect on its recommendations with regard to growth. Simply issuing recommendations for how to make savings is hardly likely to lead us out of the crisis in the long term, even though there are countries that do, in fact, have to save money. Therefore, let us consider the fact that we have actually created a whole host of new instruments that can help us to solve the crisis, instead of concentrating on criticising them."@en1
