Economic and financial stability in Europe is a common good, which becomes fragile nowadays. European societies blame political elites for this uncertainty. „More Europe” doesn’t work anymore, but perhaps „Better Europe” will – if we take advantage of the present crisis to fix what is not working properly – said dr Małgorzata Bonikowska, president of the Centre for International Relations, at a Warsaw Security Forum panel “New post-crisis approaches on how to improve financial stability and economic security in Europe”. Amongst noble speakers there were: Marek Belka, f. Prime Minister of Poland, Ralf Jansen, General Counsel, Member of the Management Board, European Stability Mechanism and Michał Krupiński, President of the Board, PZU. The debate was moderated by dr Paweł Wojciechowski, f. Polish Minister of Finance.
