Hr. Trichet, jeg er Dem derfor overordentlig taknemmelig for at have taget bladet fra munden i forbindelse med ændringerne af pagten og beder Dem af hensyn til den yngre generation om også i fremtiden at holde et vågent øje med alt, der bliver gjort i relation til stabilitets- og vækstpagten, og altid holde Dem det monetære behov for øje.
Despite the apparent inflation, many members of the public see the euro as a success story, and, while I am on that subject, I would like to say how much I agree with Mr Ettl that it is certainly not price stability alone that brings Europe economic growth, but rather – as Mr Trichet pointed out – economic policy that responds to the present need for reform, and that is what we need to see at the national level.
