Met dank overgenomen van M. (Martin) Schulz i, gepubliceerd op maandag 21 november 2011.

European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek i made the following statement following a telephone conversation with new Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti i.

"I congratulated new Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti for winning an overwhelming support in a vote of confidence in the Italian parliament, during our telephone conversation on Monday.

An official foreign trip will prevent me from meeting Prime Minister Monti personally on Tuesday when he visits Brussels.

In our conversation, Prime Minister Monti and I discussed the economic situation in Italy and the euro zone. We share a belief that no effort should be spared to contain the sovereign debt crisis and ensure the stability of the euro area.

I am confident that Prime Minister Monti will do his upmost to improve Italy's fiscal position and push ahead with structural reforms that will put Italy firmly on the path of sustainable economic growth. To achieve that, Prime Minister Monti will need broad parliamentary support.

Prime Minister Monti's plans to boost employment, reduce state spending and overhaul the labour market bode well for the future of the Italian economy.

Prime Minister Monti had met major challenges in the past as a European commissioner. His wide economic experience will serve Italy and the European Union well."
