"Mr President, a 26-State agreement is a clear sign of unity and courage to tackle the crisis of confidence in the euro. Discipline and rigour will, of course, be necessary, but so will solidarity and social responsibility to reassure the people and businesses of Europe.
President Barroso was therefore right to emphasise these ideas and launch the stability bonds, because we cannot afford not to invest as well – or primarily – in growth and development, as these are vital ingredients for a concrete response to the economic crisis and unemployment.
Therefore, a joint project with no leaders is a good thing. My only regret is about the United Kingdom, which has confirmed Charles De Gaulle’s remark that the UK only wanted to join the European Union to slow down or boycott the joint European project. It is a pity that its ‘No’ was not really uttered on behalf of the UK’s citizens, but rather on behalf of the financial interests of the City."@en1
