Conclusions of the European Council meeting (23 October 2011) (debate)
Stephen Hughes (S&D). - Mr President, I agree. I think that, as Mr Daul said earlier – I thought he put it extremely well – President Barroso has outlined a set of proposals here today, summarising what was agreed at Council last night, that will benefit the bankers. As Mr Daul said, let us try to begin to address the problems of the poorest in society. That is what we need to do.
