"Mr President, I think we do not need to consult our citizens, we know what our citizens want. They want an end to the sort of crisis we are in. When we use terms like growth, competitiveness, solidarity – who can be against those terms? Then what do we do in practice? We bring in a minimalist MFF. Every assistance short of help.
In Ireland, this cash flow comes under control, albeit in a way that needs fairness. Confidence is returning in terms of investment, but this is going to take time. We need growth: even a small amount of growth to get out of this mess; and growth is too low. I do not hear the word stimulus. I never hear the word stimulus being used. We do not need the European Council to look at a whole list of regulations. We need a European Council meeting to deal with one issue: stimulus. What do we have a European Investment Bank for? What worked in the past? Maybe we have to wait until after September for this to happen, but the European economy and our Member States need stimulus.
Stimulus works when countries are working, when people are paying taxes: we can refund. When they are not, we cannot. So let us stop this business of consulting people, let us stop being book-keepers. Let us give some leadership and, above all, let us have a meeting dedicated to the word stimulus. It is time we gave the economy some stimulus."@en1
