lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are in a very deep crisis, and not only one from which we have to ensure that we extricate ourselves, but also one which we must prevent ourselves from ever landing in again. It is for that very reason that we need a strong legislative framework and for that very reason that we, as a co-legislator, as Parliament, also have to shoulder our responsibilities. After all, we are the generation that is currently deciding the future of our children. We, in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) have the courage to push through such a set of rules. We must now have the courage to decide what action is needed. We must also have the courage to choose to push such decisions through, to ensure they are complied with, even if that means we have to swim against the tide. We understand the people who are taking to the streets to protest and, what is more, what we are doing is giving a precise structural answer to those people’s concerns: good jobs, sustainable growth and room in the future for an adequate social policy. If we want to remain a relevant player in a globalised economy, then we have to ensure greater coordination between economic and budgetary policies, as well as greater coordination between the economic policy and the policy on the competitiveness of Member States. To that end, we obviously need investment in the economy but what we need, first of all, is to ensure that no one is allowed the liberty to depart from agreed rules without a valid reason, because that means dragging others into the quagmire as well. The package that eventually came out of the negotiations provides a strong answer to those requirements, and it also provides an answer to the mistakes of the past. The only thing is – and this is prompted by our behaviour in the past – that we must further strengthen the preventive aspect of the Stability Pact, because if a Member State goes down the wrong road, then we cannot allow it to become subject to political bargaining in the Council, which is ultimately what the response from Europe will be. I therefore hope that we here will be casting a vote in favour, that we will support this package, but also that we will give ourselves the opportunity to start a final round of negotiations with the Council in order to strengthen this point further."@en1
