"The outcomes of the recent EU summit of 8-9 December 2011 are partly satisfying. On the one hand, I am pleased leaders took a firm decision to apply new fiscal rules to EU Member States for tackling the euro area crisis. On the other hand, I deplore the fact that this agreement failed to include all 27 EU Member States. In the new situation, reflected by the UK’s veto, many questions remain to be answered: for example, what is the role of Parliament in the new situation? What parts of the new EU Treaty will apply, and to whom? How will the UK’s veto affect future discussions on plans to introduce EU-wide taxes? These questions must be resolved in order to end confusion and restore trust in the euro currency. So long as we do not have concrete answers, speculators, who have played their share in provoking the euro crisis, continue making money by betting on the future of the euro area and the future of the EU. I remain hopeful that solutions can be found to these problems within the EU common framework, so as to avoid new divisions between EU Member States and to preserve integration and trust – two essential features for the future of our Union."@en1
