lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Van Rompuy is at the podium; as leader of the Belgian delegation in the European Conservatives and Reformists I should like to welcome him to this House. I wish to ask something about the EU 2020 strategy. I agree with you that the big question over the next 10 years will be whether or not Europe can survive. The issue is – and this is an American saying that I have probably quoted once or twice – ‘Are we at the table or are we on the menu?’ This applies to us all. I also have a specific question, therefore, regarding an idea that has been raised a number of times, namely that of a North Atlantic free trade area between the European Union, the United States and Canada. This is not a revolutionary idea, nor was it my idea. It was Chancellor Merkel’s – from 2007, I think – and I can find no trace of it. It concerns the ambition of looking outwards to create open markets at a time when protectionism is rearing its ugly head. It is only open markets, innovation and competitiveness that can strengthen our economy, not subsidies or European Funds. Therefore, I would ask you to look outwards and to include this aspect, too, in the EU 2020 strategy, as that is the only thing that can save us. If not, we shall become the Bruges of the globalised world."@en1
