6 "The exit strategy from the crisis should not mean the return to our previous unsustainable model that will inevitably lead to the next crisis." An Interview with Mr Pascal Canfin, Vice-Chair, Greens/EFA As a newly elected Member of the European Parliament, what is your view of the EP's reaction on the crisis until now and how do you assess the work of the Special Committee at the end of its first term of mandate? The EP's reaction has been quite positive and is reflected in initiatives such as the AIFMD, the Supervision package and the CRDIII; the ECON committee of the EP supports ambitious European answers to the crisis. As regard the Special Committee, we will assess the work of the committee based on its outcome. During this year, the CRIS committee has organised very interesting hearings and produced contributions from experts and members on the main challenges of the EU. We expect this substance to be reflected in the final report. Mr Pascal Canfin, Greens/EFA, photo taken by Xavier Cantat. You are a Vice-chair of the CRIS Committee. What are your objectives and priorities for the Committee's work? The priority of the Greens/EFA will be to ensure the report focuses on concrete innovative measures for the future of the European Union. Our different political groups will have to work closely in order to extract from all the amendments the substance that will at the end produce a compact but substantial report which is then able to influence the public and political debate on these issues. What are the main expectations of your group as regards the political recommendations of the Special Committee? Are there any further priorities that you feel should be taken into account in the continuation of its work until summer 2011? The Greens/EFA consider that the crisis is an opportunity to turn our economy based on fossil fuel into a sustainable economy. The exit strategy from the crisis should not mean the return to our previous unsustainable model that will inevitably lead to the next crisis.
