Brussels, 03/11/2011

It does not entirely offset the wrong decisions which were taken in the Spring, and which we criticized” Ms Ségol continued, pointing to the time-lag of monetary policy filtering through to investment demand. “Uncertainty about growth and employment prospects has to be tackled as THE priority. Europe must not fall into a double-dip recession".
