lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to begin by welcoming Mrs Lindh to Parliament. The Lisbon Summit was held about a year ago. Everyone, including myself, considers that Lisbon was a major success. The summit linked together a number of policy areas – economic policy, employment and social policy – making them mutually dependent. We know that both employment and welfare depend on economic growth. But there is also dependence in the opposite direction: the way in which we design welfare is important for employment and growth. Social policy is a productive factor. A year ago the Commission submitted an excellent document ahead of Lisbon. This time, there is also a document which in some respects is excellent but I do have to criticise the Commission on one point. I have no objections to the factual content, but I find the document unbalanced. The speech of President Prodi today was balanced, but the Commission’s document is far too focused on the economic aspects. I would have liked to see more attention paid to employment and social policy. In the same way, I hope that economic policy is not allowed to dominate at the Stockholm Summit. It is important to address questions such as full employment, employment in general, quality at work – which encompasses the working environment, skills development and influence on the part of employees – lifelong learning, which is incredibly important, and the demographic development which should result in older people also being given the opportunity to develop and to retain their jobs. Finally, the Stockholm and Gothenburg Summits should also be linked and, in the future, environmental issues should be integrated in this process with economic policy, employment policy and other policy. It is particularly important to incorporate the ecological issues."@en1
