About the Speech:
 
According to Mr. Lamassoure, the Lisbon Treaty equipped the E.U. with a fresh, democratic and wide-ranging toolbox. However, a series of uninterrupted crises, from finance to migration, have put the E.U. under strain, arousing a rise in euroscepticism almost everywhere. Mr. Lamassoure will examine how the E.U. can adjust to these pressures while also touching on his work as Chair of the TAXE Committee.
