'EMU, which is substantially more than what is being discussed on the table now, is indispensable to re-create confidence in the European project. Only its completion and full implementation will encourage investments and boost growth and jobs.'

Carmelo Cedrone, co-rapporteur on ‘Completing EMU – The next European legislature’
