"Madam President, the citizens that I represent are not necessarily concerned about what is happening in some faraway European Semester, but they are very concerned about what is happening in Europe and in the eurozone. Right now, they see that Greece cannot afford to repay its debt and that the crisis is just getting worse.
From a UK perspective, there are many of my citizens who are fed up with bailing out our own banks, but who do think that it is time you restructured the banks across the continent. That is not easy and it is painful, but it does need to be sorted out and it needs to be sorted out now.
As for my own contribution on the European Semester, I hope that our Member States will live up to the expectations of the Budgetary Framework Directive because, fundamentally, our citizens need to know where their money is going, how it is being spent, and how forecasts are being put together by our governments. So I hope that one of the first actions of next year’s Semester will be to ensure that our countries fulfil their obligations."@en1
