  • Evaluation of situation in the Eurozone

    Feltöltve 2010 Mar. 31. Gabor No comments

    I would like to thank Mr. Rehn, the Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs,  Mr. Trichet, the President of the European Central Bank, as well as the Reporters for their open and highly professional approach towards this issue, which is of high importance to all of us.

    It is really worrying, that despite all our efforts, levels of public debts and unemployment rates are increasing in all member states of the Eurozone.

    Unfortunately, my home country Slovakia, is neither an exception. The unemployment rate nowadays exceeds 13%. Slovakia has joint the Eurozone as the last member state on 1. January 2009, which has undoubtly had a positive impact on the national economy, as well as on political and social climate. Vast majority of the citizens still holds the positive view concerning the evaulation of adoption of Euro. This is the reason why we consider it to be essential, that  the power and prestige of the common European currency do not decline.

    European parliament is obliged to support all the efforts of the  Commission and the European Central Bank, aimed at empowerment of the European currency, in order to avoid fiasco in the field of monetary policy. This requires further reinforcement of integration of the economic policy and its sustainable development. However, this is already a strategic question, in which the European Council has to be active and has to play a decisive role.
