"Prime Minister, do you not think that it is all being slightly over exaggerated. We have a President of the Eurogroup. He cannot be the Commission’s Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs as he is the independent President of the Eurogroup; an important person. We have the President of the Commission who says ‘I look after economic and monetary affairs with the commissioner. We have the commissioners for economic and monetary affairs, we have the President of the European Council’. Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy say ‘It’s his place to preside over the euro’.
So, for now, we have at least four, maybe five people in Europe in charge of the euro. However, things have never been so bad for the euro and that is because there are five people in charge of it.
I think this is the first issue that we need to tackle. I am not one for solving all problems institutionally, but these problems need to be addressed as quickly as possible. And I think and I hope, and I am totally convinced, that Luxembourg, along with Belgium and the Netherlands, will be on the side of those wanting to defend the community method against these proposals. Perhaps you are not aware, Mr Schulz, but Mr Rutte has proposed that there be a specially appointed commissioner to safeguard the application of the Stability Pact; quite a U-turn on their part but one I welcome (
)."@en1
