Euro Summit Statement

Date 27/10/2011

1. Over the last three years, we have taken unprecedented steps to combat the effects of the
world-wide financial crisis, both in the European Union as such and within the euro area. The strategy we have put into place encompasses determined efforts to ensure fiscal consolidation, support to countries in difficulty, and a strengthening of euro area governance leading to deeper economic integration among us and an ambitious agenda for growth. At our 21 July meeting we took a set of major decisions. The ratification by all 17 Member States of the euro area of the measures related to the EFSF significantly strengthens our capacity to react to the crisis. Agreement by all three institutions on a strong legislative package within the EU structures on better economic governance represents another major achievement. The introduction of the European Semester has fundamentally changed the way our fiscal and economic policies are co-ordinated at European level, with co-ordination at EU level now taking place before national decisions are taken. The euro continues to rest on solidfundamentals.

Date 26/10/2011

Good Morning. Thank you, Lauri, for that kind introduction and for inviting me here today. It is very nice to see so many familiar faces. I am reminded of the many earlier occasions when I attended C&L seminars while at FINRA. It is a great pleasure to be back here with you in my current role at the SEC, and to be able to engage in a dialog about the Commission’s work during this very busy time. Although there is a lot I could cover, I will try to be brief (a difficult task for me), and more than a little selective, so that there will be time to cover all the questions that I know my old friend Dave DeMuro is planning to pepper me with during the Q & A session.
