lpv:translated text	"Mr President, implementation of Internal Market legislation at national level is an absolute prerequisite for achieving the Lisbon objectives. The increase in the implementation deficit is causing EU markets to splinter and is eroding the benefits of the Internal Market. Unless the directives on telecommunications, for example, are implemented in the Member States, that sector’s development will be become more disharmonious than ever. In order to maintain our competitiveness it is vital that we increase resources for research and training. We will not succeed in the future with just bulk products and a poorly trained workforce. Tax on earnings and employers’ indirect costs must be cut to boost employment in Europe and to make it easier for SMEs and growth companies in particular to employ staff. Lower taxation would, for its own part, stimulate European entrepreneurship, one of the pillars of competitiveness. Let taxation in future fall within the competence of the Member States. I would also encourage Member States to lighten the tax burden in parallel with the Lisbon objectives so that they take account of fair and positive tax competition. The EU’s task in this area will be to compile comparable data and propagate best practices."@en1
