EU Parliament Liberal Group President Verhofstadt to EuroFora: EuroZone's destiny is bold Eco policy
From its very inception, EuroZone was destinated to develop a bold Economic policy, without being limited only to stricty Monetary issues, but today this has become an urgtent necessity for the EU in order to safeguard the European integration in front of the Global Financial Crisis and growing Worldwide Competition, stressed in substance the new President of EU Parliament's Liberal Group, former Prime Minister of Belgium, MEP Guy Verhofstadt, speaking to "EuroFora".
- "It may be", indeed, that when EuroZone was created, the real aim already was to incite EU Citizens to start asking for a European-level Economic and Social policy, since all the Monetary powers were previously transfered to Europe, agreed Verhofstadt with "EuroFora", who reminded EU Parliament's Historic 1995-1998 debates in Strasbourg for the creation of the €.
- "At any case, now we need a much Bolder Economic policy" from Europe, Verhofstadt stressed speaking to "EuroFora".
He was referring in particular to his call for EU Measures able to put Pressure on EU Member States to really incite them to move on Economic and Social policy, in order to overcome the "failure" of the previous EU Lisbon strategy, which had been limited to express mere wishes, without any coercitive power, as he said earlier at a Press meeting with Journalists in Strasdbourg, including "EuroFora".
The result was to dangerously augment economic development "Gaps" inside Europe, as fex. between Germany and Greece, which became bigger than it was in the Past, aggravating risks for crisis.
- It's "from the Beginning that there was a Lack of Unity", when the Central European Bank was created. So, "the problems also existed from the beginning. They didn't appear yesterday", Verhofstadt stressed.

- "EUROCORPS" is a "unique tool" for "a Modern Europe", jointly managed by participating Nations without anyone deciding for others", to "support their efforts to promote Reconciliation, Peace and Human Rights' Values, which identify today's European ideal, with its Symbol-City : Strasbourg", stressed its Chief, Spanish General Pedro PITARCH, in a popular ceremony for the 15th Anniversary of the European Army Corps, at its Headquarters.
- "Today, we are ready and able to fullfil any Peace-keeping Mission may be decided by the Political leadership, since we can deploy up to 60.000 soldiers and/or other agents, mainly in land, but in coordination with Sea and Air operarions", (even to build vital Infrastructures, demining, keep public order, facilitate Elections, etc), said to EuroFora EUROCORPS' Spokesman and Press Director, Colonel Raul SUEVOS.
- "If there is an Agreement with the framework Nations, EUROCORPS could certainly contribute to guarantee manifold aspects of Peace setllements", told us recently General PITARCH.

Greece and Austria participate as "Contributing Nations", while Poland decided to upgrade its role. Turkey has liaison Officers for NATO relations, and even USA decided to send Officers to Strasbourg on 2009.
