Manfred Weber is the president of the EPP group in the European Parliament. Here a short interview made during his public chat on Facebook
by Emanuele Bonini (for eunews.it)
Mr Weber, what do you think about Tsipras' proposal of linking Greece debt repayments to its economic growth rate as a feasible solution to bring its sovereign debt under control?
«I think the most important question of all is to respect previous agreements».
Do you think time for Troika is over? Do you believe is time for a different way to deal with crisis and, in case, what could be the alternative to Troika?
«The Troika, the group formed by the European Commission, the ECB and the IMF, is only a tool. The question is if Member States are doing enough to create stability for investors. We need structural reforms and a stable state budget to create good conditions. That is the main question for the future».
You mentioned structural reforms, stable state budget, and creation for stability of investors. Do you believe France and Italy did enough?
«I think that the two member states have still a lot to do. The member States who did the necessary reforms are today economically more successful then the others. And very often the successful countries are governed by the EPP».
