European Council Brussels: Statements (19 Dec 2012)

Micheál Martin: ...last week's summit, it is a fact that no significant step forward was actually delivered. At the end of a fourth year of economic crisis, the leaders of Europe have decided once again to take the path of complacency.

If we do not set out what we believe is required to end the crisis and restore long-term growth, we will continue to be bystanders and, in the words of Pat Cox, policy takers.
