\u201cA joint effort will be needed at the forthcoming European Council to make it a \u2018turning point summit\u2019 that defines a commitment, based on solidarity, to defend the euro and support those countries with more serious problems and a heavier sovereign debt\u201d. This was the call uttered by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, from Poland, as his official visit drew to a close. The President was accompanied by Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi. According to Napolitano, speaking at an economic forum in Warsaw, \u201cat this stage we need to energetically pursue fiscal consolidation and financial stability policies\u201d. Such policies, however, must go hand-in-hand with policies to boost growth. These, reiterated the Head of State, must be the goals of the European Council taking place in late June. <\/P>

President Napolitano underscored that responsibility for Europe cannot be narrowed down to just 2 countries like France and Germany, influential as they are. He remarked that the customary consultations between those two countries should now be extended to include Italy, whose government and Prime Minister attract respect and esteem.<\/P>

Poland\u2019s \u201cenviable\u201d economic growth <\/STRONG><\/P> Napolitano suggested that \u201cenviable\u201d economic growth such as Poland\u2019s, which has stood up well to the impact of the global crisis, should be viewed as \u201can extremely ambitious goal for the euro-zone\u2019s member countries\u201d. The Head of State explained that Rome and Warsaw share \u201cthe same views\u201d and \u201cgreat friendship\u201d. Italy\u2019s decision to strengthen and maintain these relations with Poland was strategic and far-sighted, observed the President. <\/P> Europe was the focus of Foreign Minister Terzi\u2019s meeting with his Polish colleague, Radek Sikorski, along with issues related to religious freedom. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cA joint effort will be needed at the forthcoming European Council to make it a \u2018turning point summit\u2019 that defines a commitment, based on solidarity, to defend the euro and support those countries with more serious problems and a heavier sovereign debt\u201d.
