"Madam President, Mr Vice-President of the European Commission, you said in your introductory speech that we have very constrained room for manoeuvre, meaning that time is of the essence. You are absolutely right but, as time clearly is of the essence, why do we not say, directly and openly, that it would be a mistake to start debating changes to the Treaties at this point in time? It would be a mistake, not only because institutional changes cannot and must not be made under conditions of pressure and crisis, given the risk of giving birth to a monster, but also because they will inevitably prolong the uncertainty and reinforce intra-European differences and, hence, the misgivings of the markets.
We need stability and fiscal discipline, but we also need growth and social justice; we need fair cost-sharing. We need a combination of solidarity and responsibility, not only between the Member States, but within the Member States. In other words, Commissioner, we need a new package that includes stricter fiscal discipline. We have the rules; we adopted the six-pack and the Commission presented its new proposals last week.
We therefore need stricter fiscal rules, Eurobonds and a financial transaction tax, in a single package, in order to safeguard these principles."@en1
