''Issues related to the future of the euro-zone are important for all EU members. They must be discussed by all members sitting at one table. We have a positive attitude towards the European Council's conclusions, offering various measures to liquidate the consequences of the crisis and ensure the financial stability of the euro-zone,'' Aboltina said at the conference.

Speaking about overcoming the economic crisis, the Saeima speaker pointed out that hard work allowed Latvia to avoid bankruptcy, as well as three main principles – stability, partnership and responsibility, LETA was informed by the Saeima's press service.

''The 2011 budget clearly shows the turning-point in the growth of the Latvian economy. If the previous two budgets were described as crisis budgets, then the 2011 budget is a stabilization budget,'' Aboltina pointed out.

The Saeima speaker is in Brussels from April 3 to April 6, where she is attending a conference for EU parliamentary speakers.
