"Mr President, one of the comments Mr Böge made during the presentation of his first-rate report was that it was about a forward-looking Europe. In my opinion, this is a splendid phrase. It serves as a common ground for Parliament and the Commission, and highlights the distance between these two institutions and the Council, which at present is incapable of transcending national interests and finding the answer that Europe needs.
The European project is currently at crisis point. The only response to this crisis has to be the good news that Europe is capable of looking to the future with hope, and that Europe itself can be the source of such hope. The Böge report indicates, and rightly so, that there is no contradiction between the European Union’s policies of cohesion and solidarity and Europe’s economic competitiveness. This is an important point, and I believe that it is equally important for the Financial Perspective to be a driving force behind European integration, rather than a factor widening the gap between the new and the old Member States, or between Eastern and Western Europe. The countries that have rejoined Europe are particularly vulnerable, and this is something people need to understand."@en1
