Na pitanje pred taj skup da li ima potrebe za značajnim povećavanjem kapaciteta EFSF-a, povjerenik je izjavio da u cilju djelotvornosti tog fonda, "on mora imati kredibilitet i biti poštovan od strane tržišta," dodajući da bi on stoga trebao biti pod stalnim procjenjivanjem.
Asked ahead of the event if there was need to increase the EFSF's capacity substantially, the commissioner said that to be effective, the fund "needs to be credible and respected by the markets," adding that it should therefore be subject to continuous assessment.
