"Mr President, despite the justified criticism of the shortness of time this is nevertheless an important occasion. We finally have synchronised guidelines and we need to do the best we can, faced with the situation we now have.
I put it to the Commissioners that one of the things they can do from a practical point of view, to generate pressure on national governments to act, would be to ensure that these guidelines are sent to each individual member of each national parliament in the European Union, rather than going to the secretariats of the national parliaments. That would result in a significant amount of pressure on national governments.
As regards extending working life I would like to say to both Commissioners that many workers are concerned that they will not end up with lifelong learning, but rather with lifelong working. I suggest that we need to guarantee that people's pensions will actually improve if they accept working for longer, particularly those who may be on small pensions.
Finally, are we going to get a European framework for investment in R[amp]D, in education, in lifelong learning, so that we can create a genuine engine for growth in Europe?"@en1
