"At present, the EU is in a difficult situation. The persisting economic crisis and its consequences have hit us hard. A high level of unemployment, failing businesses, and nonsensical cuts in the public sector, such as in education, healthcare and the social system, which most affect the most vulnerable citizens of the EU. It is a difficult economic and social situation for the citizens. Declining economies, persistent recession. People living in the EU are experiencing the current problems personally. It is no wonder that they are losing faith in the European project. Lengthy debates are going on in Brussels on how to get out of the crisis. However, the populations of the various Member States do not feel any real results of our efforts. That is to say, our debates are not leading anywhere! The anti-crisis measures are not effective enough, and we just wasting precious time! Summits bring no solutions. At long last, we must wake up and start to act. We need to take concrete steps to boost growth and employment. We should adopt the measures needed to reverse the impending collapse of the EU’s global competitiveness. We should take action to revive our single market. We must strengthen fiscal, economic and political integration. We need a specific plan for creating a banking union. We need a greater degree of mutual solidarity. Either we join forces, because the European project is worth fighting for, after all, or else we simply sink separately. In order to adopt the necessary measures, we will have to overcome political short-sightedness and set out an ambitious plan."@en1
