The premier of Finland called for "European initiatives to calm the markets", while at the same time "all countries must take initiatives on an individual level" to correct their problems. This while “the market situation is not normal” – explained Jyrki Katainen, in the joint press conference with Prime Minister Mario Monti at the end of a meeting in Helsinki – and ends up penalizing several countries with excessive interest rates on government bonds.
For this we need individual initiatives from the various countries and a European initiative to calm the markets "which in this way will have the opportunity to adequately evaluate the various countries" in their adjustment efforts. A line obviously shared by Monti, who underlined the agreement “on what we called the double track: on the one hand tireless efforts to do homework and at the same time a European solution, also for the spread".
