Despite the belittling of the results of the Stockholm Summit by most of the media, progress was made, responding to the objectives of the economic and financial groups that dominate the European economy, as the Commission’s proposal made very clear. The path has therefore already been mapped out. As in the story about the half-cup of water, some will see it as half full and some as half empty.
The Lisbon strategy to speed up liberalisation, particularly through privatising transport, postal services, electricity, gas and telecommunications, was, despite everything, consolidated at the Stockholm Council. Furthermore, the process of integrating the financial markets was also speeded up.
With regard to recovering ‘full employment’, this does not necessarily mean an increase in the number of quality jobs, particularly if this increase takes place at the expense of greater job insecurity.
With regard to the so-called ‘modernisation of the European Social Model’, new attacks were made on the pensions system and changes to social security, with the method of open coordination in this area being started up and with this objective being included in the EU’s annual economic guidelines. It is worth highlighting, however, that the tiny echoes from the social part of the Lisbon strategy are due to the efforts of the workers and all progressives who want to see an economy that pays more attention to people’s problems and sustainable development. This is what I too hope for."@en1
