lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is clear that more initiatives will have to be implemented if the European Union is to become the most knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010. The EU 2005 programme must be fully implemented so as to increase broadband access to schools and libraries and ensure that all our young people are guaranteed access to high-speed Internet services and development skills. Full broadband facilities must be available to all rural, as well as urban, areas and especially to the most peripheral areas of the European Union. The European Union must also implement the Financial Services Action Plan by the end of next year. This will ensure that bank and fund managers and insurers are able to operate on an EU-wide basis. A new framework directive on services – a key measure needed to complete the internal market – must also be implemented. I also believe that the EU must implement the recommendations of the European Employment Task Force. This Task Force seeks to promote greater flexibility in education, training and innovation, encourages greater flexibility on the part of workers and companies, and removes disincentives to employment. We must also invest more in research and development policies. We also look to the European Council to consider ways of raising awareness amongst European citizens about the work of the European Union and the relevance of the EU to our daily lives. The European Council is going to ask the European Commission to develop a broader communications strategy. This will be the job of Commissioner Wallström, who will have a key role in explaining how Europe takes its decisions and why Europe makes these decisions."@en1
