"Mr President, I would firstly like to thank the Commissioner and the Spanish Presidency for everything that has been achieved recently, albeit late. Sailing a ship through a storm is not easy. You have broken down more barriers in a fortnight than in all the previous years put together, and I want to encourage you to continue along the same lines. I have a message for each of you. I should firstly like to say to the Spanish Presidency that in June, you are going to be responsible for the adoption of the Europe 2020 strategy. Do not put your name to this mockery. The Lisbon Strategy has not worked; some of the problems faced by southern Europe are due to a lack of competitiveness. As Mr Verhofstadt said, we need another way. We also need financial supervision. It has just been explained to us that Parliament is going too far. I am rapporteur for the European Systemic Risk Board. I note that during the course of the most turbulent weekend of the last few weeks, the word ‘systemic’ was uttered several times. Your presidency is responsible for this package. Be ambitious! You have our support. Do not listen to those in the Council who capitalise on the lack of regulation. My second message is addressed to Mr Rehn, whose courage I salute; I fully support the Commission’s proposal for national parliaments to work far more upstream with the EU. However, this must be approached very carefully or it will provide all the populists and all Europe’s critics with a golden opportunity. You have our support, but let us try to have a more inclusive approach with the national parliaments, rather than giving the impression that ‘Brussels’ is dictating everything. I note that it is those same national parliaments that claim to be the protectors of democracy that have put Europe in its current situation by voting, year in year out, for deficit budgets."@en1
