".
Mr President, you are addressing me here as the President of the Eurogroup and not as the Luxembourg Prime Minister. I have got to admit that, on some of the things you have just mentioned, the Luxembourg Prime Minister has a stronger internal mandate than that of the President of the Eurogroup, which is more limited. Having said that, I would need at least a minute to talk about each of the subjects that you have just mentioned.
It is true that Europe has reacted at a snail’s pace and not as quickly as it should have. For this I blame the severity of the crisis, the lack of any early analysis and the fact that the 17 members of the euro area are unique in that the Heads of State or Government and finance ministers represent 17 democracies whose governments are made up of at least 50 political parties. As someone who so gracefully masters the various games and challenges of this House, you must understand how tricky it is.
I think that what we need to do is translate all the decisions taken by the Heads of State or Governments of the euro area on 21 July into reality and fact, and that we think outside the box of what was agreed on 21 July. With my Luxembourg Prime Minister’s hat on, I am telling you that I prefer the community method by far over the intergovernmental method that we have seen in recent years."@en1
