European Financial Stability Facility & European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism
Speech by Sharon Bowles MEP on Tue 6th Jul 2010
In so many matters nowadays, the expression 'the devil is in the detail' is quoted. At times this is becoming too much of an excuse for pronouncing conclusions aimed at markets, without realising that a less than fulsome follow-up negates the conclusions, or even does more harm than good. I said this again about Bank stress tests, where we need transparent and credible assumptions as well as results, I said it earlier when it was taking too long to come up with detail on the Greek rescue, and the Committee has in fact been demanding more detail for months. We are the devils that look at the detail, and we want it.

Council Conclusions
Speech by Sharon Bowles MEP delivered to President Herman van Rompuy on Wed 23rd Jun 2010

We have some ideas too.
