"I agree with Mr Mauro that in the fight against the crises, there has not been enough action from the European Union. In recent years, we have concentrated on political integration – we have been taken up with the Treaty of Lisbon and strengthening the competences of political institutions – but we have neglected cooperation on combating the crises. I am thinking of a variety of crises which require cooperation and solidarity. I am not thinking just of financial crises here.
As we hold this debate, several countries of the European Union, including my own country of Poland, have been hit by a huge flood. People have been killed, and there have been heavy material losses. People expect that in such situations, the European Union will come and help them, but there has not been much of this help. The European Union is weak because its budget is too small, and it does not have enough money for specific measures. Political strengthening is not being followed by the appropriate financial strengthening. I hope that as a result of this crisis, the tendency to reduce the budget will not increase still further, because then we will be even weaker and more helpless."@en1
