During today's plenary debate in the European Parliament, ALDE's Second Vice President Pavel Telicka (ANO, Czech Republic) has urged the Member States to show more commitment to make the European Fund for Strategic Investments a success.
"The goals of the EFSI go in the right direction. However, I believe investments by the fund should be conditional on structural reforms in Member States."
"Far too many countries have failed to implement legislation to open up the internal market. Europe will only regain its competitiveness, if Member States show more commitment to cut red tape, to reform and to create an environment that is attractive to innovative companies."
"I urge the Latvian Presidency to step up their level of ambition. We don't need Council meetings, we need concrete national action plans."
