".
Mr President, I should like to comment on three points. First, as we have already pointed out, the whole proposal comes within the framework of the current Treaty, which does not need to be interpreted differently or more widely or changed in any way. Secondly, this proposal is just one step. We cannot update the Lisbon procedures in one fell swoop. So, to come back to what Mrs Van Lancker said about other policies, such as pension schemes or policies on other social issues or the problem of exclusion which we discussed recently, I have to say that all these procedures are in a state of flux and that our final objective is to coordinate them within a common framework. The third point raised by a number of honourable Members is just how medium-term or short-term the timetable should be.
I think that the success of this proposal lies in the fact that it sets medium-term objectives – I mentioned 2010. This is very important because, with employment in particular, policies have to be structural. They leave cyclical changes out of account, which is why medium-term objectives are much more significant and help governments to focus their efforts and apply specific objectives. At the same time, however, we propose that procedures should be monitored annually, meaning that a debate will be held in Parliament once a year on the basis of the Member States' reports and, as Mr Solbes Mira just said, if specific incidents occur or unexpected circumstances arise, we can obviously review the new proposals."@en1
