Revitalising Europe Revitalising Europe means bringing the reality of today’s Europe, of its institutions and policies, closer to these wishes and concerns of the EU citizens. A Europe of stability and responsibility where the burdens of today’s adjustments are not shifted onto future generations. An open and flexible Europe fostering education, entrepreneurship and innovation, with ample employment opportunities and a high standard of living.
The euro underlines the validity of this proposition as well as the need for systematic and determined efforts towards implementing the necessary reforms. As the euro area economy becomes more productive, flexible and competitive, its growth performance will improve, benefiting from both an enhanced capacity to produce as well as increased confidence that can boost investment and consumption. Thank you for your attention.
