Tánaiste Outlines New Approach In Brussels
The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore, has addressed the European Policy Centre (EPC) in Brussels outlining the new government’s approach to Europe in the wake of the economic and financial crisis.
The EPC is an independent and influential policy think-tank on EU matters and brings together representatives of the professional and business federations, trade unions, as well as NGOs representing a broad range of interests. The Tánaiste will later attend a meeting of EU Foreign Ministers.
The Tánaiste outlined the measures which the Government has taken to stabilise the economy and the banking system and he pledged to restore Ireland's standing as a committed and influential member of the European Union.
A key message was put forward that, with the help of European partners and in the right European policy framework, a resourceful and resilient Ireland will overcome even the most daunting challenges to work and fight its way back to growth, prosperity and jobs.
