"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the summit was not dramatic. It was strikingly calm. It has been described as being better than previous meetings. Perhaps a more serious approach and less stage management would do us good. We also need fewer accusations and criticisms and more actions and positive results. It was also beneficial that no advance meeting was held between Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy. Instead, everyone focused on the summit, rather than imposing requirements on the other participants. We should spend less time criticising one another and more time taking action. We now have the Single Market Act and we must implement it in the Member States. We have the Small Business Act which must also be implemented. We have the Europe 2020 strategy which must be put into practice. We have the SME test which must be carried out so that we can draw the necessary conclusions. The Commission is proposing the use of own resources. I am calling on the Member States to accept this offer, so that the Commission and the European institutions are not in the position of being dependent, but instead have more freedom to act in the political arena and more credibility. We know that more funding will be available for the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). We must not postpone our decisions. We must make them now. Kosovo is not just a problem for Serbia. The five Member States of the EU which are refusing to recognise Kosovo must finally do so. We need more action and less criticism."@en1
