"Mr President, it is all a matter of taste. I do not automatically approve some of the choreographic performances that we may see.
Having said that, when the Eurogroup meets at Heads of State or Government level, no new institution is created.
The Eurogroup draws its very existence from the Treaty of Lisbon, which specifically states that euro area members should meet at Heads of State or Government level – especially when it comes to coordinating all economic, social, financial and budgetary policies on a broader or more intimate level. I take no offence at that.
The finance ministers meet once a month, the Heads of State or Government twice a year; therefore, they cannot claim to be Europe’s economic government because that should meet more than once every six months. I am not scared, however, nor am I bothered by the prospect of euro area Heads of State or Government meeting from time to time to discuss, decide on and give impetus to the Eurogroup at finance minister level, as they bear full responsibility for the policies implemented."@en1
