Joint statement by President Herman Van Rompuy and President José Manuel Barroso on the recent political developments in Slovakia


Default: Change to:


Van Rompuy and Barroso call upon all parties in the Slovak Parliament to rise above the positioning of short term politics, and seize the next occasion to ensure a swift adoption of the new agreement.


Van Rompuy and Barroso remain confident that the Slovak authorities and the Parliament are fully aware of the critical importance of an enhanced and more flexible European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) to preserve financial stability in the euro area. And that is in the interest of all euro countries, including the Slovak people.

The common currency plays a crucial role in investment decisions, in growth, in jobs. This is about the prosperity of us all.
