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.
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.
