"Mr President, I fear that we talk about growth in theory, but, in fact, all we are interested in is fiscal prudence. However, fiscal prudence alone causes more problems than it solves. We must not forget that taxes kill taxes.
Apparently, tax evasion at European level is spiralling out of control. The insurance problem is the next time bomb in the foundations of the system. Unemployment is snowballing. Unemployment in Greece topped 21% in December. One in two young people between the ages of 15 and 24 are unemployed. Small and medium-sized enterprises, which form the backbone of society, are closing down one after another. These problems are emerging in almost every Member State of the European Union. The social fabric of Europe is at risk.
Mr Van Rompuy, my congratulations on your reappointment, but I should like to remind both you and Mr Barroso that you should not rest on your laurels, because sometimes congratulations are more painful than condolences. It is time to move onwards and upwards."@en1
