"Mr President, I am quite used to this but I would appreciate it if there were some interest in the House in what I am going to say.
Immediate crisis resolution, complete financial market reform and reinforcing economic governance: these are the three main tasks that we have to work on as soon as possible now.
I agree with Mr Marinescu, who referred to the Commission’s communication, and it is indeed more than anyone would have thought even half a year ago. Please read those 10 pages of the communication on reinforcing economic governance in Europe. Ten pages sounds short, but it is full of concrete initiatives. This is heavy stuff, which is what we need in Europe. I will come up with concrete proposals, legislative proposals, shortly.
We have taken the initiative and we shall move on. Mr Verhofstadt said that we should not wait for the task force. Well, we contribute actively and constructively to the work of the task force presided over by President Herman Van Rompuy but, yes, we shall use our right of initiative and we shall soon put forward concrete legislative proposals on reinforcing economic governance.
That is the essence of the Community method and that is what you have also been calling for today, and rightly so. We do not have the luxury of time. Instead, we must act without delay. It is now absolutely essential to move on with these initiatives.
I therefore want to conclude by saying that we need an alliance of institutions to pursue these objectives. The European Union has always produced the best results by an alliance of the Parliament and the Commission, so I count on your support in this regard. It is also important that we bring the national parliaments on board by taking an inclusive approach, as Mrs Goulard has suggested.
But, most importantly, please recall that the European Parliament can help all of us in the European Union to act more quickly and with determination. So please convince your constituencies and help us convince the Member States, and not only the Spanish Presidency, which is very convinced. I trust you can, and will, make your voices heard, and I count on you taking a very strong and determined position in the Europe 2020 resolution in the course of this session week of the Parliament.
Dear friends, we need nothing more than full steam ahead to reinforce economic governance in Europe."@en1
