Speaking before the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, Joseph Daul, a French MEP who leads the European Parliament's largest political group, the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), echoed Barroso's calls for a "Community" approach. "This European crisis requires a European and not just a national response," he said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has come for states in the euro zone and for all other states of the EU who want to join to make a major statement by adopting together and simultaneously measures sufficiently powerful to a assuage doubts about the EU's ability to face up to its responsibilities," Daul added.
