EU should grow into community of solidarity, says Lamassoure

Autor: half
ZAGREB, March 6 (Hina) - The European Union enabled the reconciliation of European nations, the spreading of democracy and the social market model, and its success is a message of hope to other nations in the world that one day they too will be surrounded by friends, the chair of the European Parliament's Committee on Budgets, Alain Lamassoure, said in Zagreb on Tuesday.

In a talk on the EU ahead of Croatia's accession at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management, Lamassoure said the EU was neither a federation nor a confederation but a democratic political entity without precedent which managed to unite different nations, enabling them to lead a peaceful coexistence while maintaining their national sovereignty, identity, freedom, language and culture.

Commenting on the economic and financial crisis, Lamassoure said it pointed out the importance of solidarity because EU member countries, whether they liked it or not, shared a common destiny.

The EU should grow into a community of solidarity in which everyone should meet their commitments but also be willing to help others, he said.

We need more Europe, a stronger Europe, more solidarity with the member states in difficulties, and not its weakening, Lamassoure added.
