esquiver

Mais n'esquivons pas l'éléphant dans la pièce : il ne s'agit pas seulement des banques, il s'agit de la dette souveraine et de la stabilité de l'euro, inextricablement liées et extrêmement importantes.
But let us not dodge the elephant in the room: this is not just about banks, it is about sovereign debt and the stability of the euro: inextricably linked and overwhelmingly important.
Je dis donc ceci aux députés de l'autre aile de l'Assemblée : nous avons eu amplement la possibilité de débattre de cette question : oui, elle est compliquée, oui, elle est technique, mais n'esquivons pas nos responsabilités.
So I say to Members on the other side of the House, we have had every opportunity to debate this issue, yes it is complicated, yes it is technical, but let us not abrogate our responsibilities.
