"The Lisbon decisions do not constitute a coherent strategy but form two different strategies which have barely been patched together into one and the same decision guidance document. The one strategy is about strengthening Europe’s industries of the future by promoting cutting-edge technologies and boosting the power of research-based innovation in European industry. The second strategy is about producing full employment, social integration and lifelong education for all. It was a laudable attempt to bring about a social compromise, but it has not been implemented in actual policy, and it is now ever clearer that certain governments and political parties in the Member States wish to enter upon a new course.
The Bullmann report is aimed at retaining a policy of synthesis and compromise. The amendments adopted here today mean, however, that Parliament now concurs with those governments which are proposing a clear change of course.
In spite of the fact that we acknowledge the rapporteur’s efforts to defend important social objectives and that we have supported many of his proposals, we believe that the report as a whole has acquired a clear right-wing bias and indicates a path of development that will create major problems for ordinary people around Europe.
We are also concerned that, in preparing for the Barcelona Summit, the Commission, the Council and Parliament have done so little to take account of the candidate countries’ needs and interests.
We have therefore voted against the report in its altered form."@en1
