lpv:translated text	". I voted in favour of this report. This recommendation is based on a realistic and modern vision of the European economy. The economic slowdown in the United States is having repercussions within the European Union. However, this fact alone cannot explain the weak results posted by a number of Member States. There are, in fact, domestic problems that must be resolved, and structural reforms are expected. All European consumers must be able to freely choose their service provider. Furthermore, an innovative competition policy, resisting all the dominant positions, is emerging within the European Union. This approach must be encouraged, particularly by involving all the parties concerned so that we can be more effective, both personally and collectively. This does not mean reforming against the actors, but to make these sectors develop in conjunction with them. It is also essential to take specific measures in the areas of education, training and research development if we wish to retain highly competent employees and ensure that our businesses are as competitive as possible. This report also proposes to increase the retirement age for workers who wish to remain active. Today’s widespread practice of compulsory retirement is an enormous waste of skills, talent and experience. These experienced people can still fulfil worthwhile tasks in our businesses. Lastly, analysts show that the current economic slowdown could have been much more serious were it not for Monetary Union. Therefore, those who are now driven by concerns regarding their domestic policy and are advocating a return to the past, have got the wrong century, and are confusing personal interest with general interest."@en1
