Speech (Written statement, rule 142.7), 18 November 2008, Bruxelles
Debate on the EU response to the world financial crisis: follow-up of the informal European Council of 7 November and the G20 Summit of 15 November 2008.
Mr President, I am going to use this moment just to say a few words on issues which seem to frame the public debate on regulation and supervision.
Firstly, free markets are not synonymous with no regulations. A lax monetary policy can lead to higher inflation and eventually to recession but cannot by itself cause the meltdown of a financial system. The features of the financial system that have brought the threat of collapse are structural traits of the new financial system.
