European Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker on Tuesday defended the EU
executive's vigilance of member States' adherence to the
Stability and Growth Pact. "We are not a gang of technocrats and
bureaucrats," Juncker said, arguing that the Commission he heads
has a clear "political" dimension. He also spoke of the
importance of "looking at the situations of the member States"
when applying the rules with the necessary flexibility, without
"betraying the principles of the Pact, which works".
