Estrasburgo (Revista E) – European Commission President José Manuel Barroso on September 13 told the EPP Group, the largest political force in the European Parliament, that the 27-nation bloc’s governments should do more to implement decisions they took in July to resolve the eurozone debt crisis. He welcomed the decision to establish the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) but called on member states to speed up practical implementation measures. Barroso also said that Europe needed economic growth but that indebted countries should not be expected to use fiscal stimulus to produce it.
