Economic and budgetary surveillance of Member States with serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability in the euro area - Monitoring and assessing draft budgetary plans and ensuring the correction of excessive deficit of the Member States in the euro area (debate)
Barry Madlener (NI), Blue-card question. – (NL) I would like to ask Ms Wortmann-Kool why she is so keen to advocate the opinion that we ought to introduce eurobonds and that the Netherlands ought constantly to foot the bill for Spain and Greece. Do you think that is being fair to the Dutch?
Why do you not frankly admit that you want the Netherlands to pay Greek and Spanish debts and that, with all your eurobonds and your governance, you want the rich countries ultimately to pay for the poor countries? The good countries are being punished and the bad countries that are not complying with the agreements are being rewarded. Can you explain that to our voters? What do you think about that, Ms Wortmann-Kool?
