"Mr President of the Commission, you expressed a personal vision nearly six months ago when we first heard you speak here in Strasbourg. Since then your personal vision has expanded and been restructured; as you are also the head of the government of Europe, your goals will be jointly determined and we will also comment on these goals and their execution from a different perspective. Let me refer to your first address to us, when you made the promise that parallel processes will enhance each other in your politics. You promised a sort of Euclidean political organisational work where parallel values do not cross over and extinguish each other, although it is a great challenge.
Let me refer to two examples that have been brought up several times during today’s debate. Lisbon promises a Europe of competitiveness, growth and employment. I would like to highlight my colleagues’ comments: competitiveness, growth and an increase in employment cannot conflict with the interest and value of social acceptance. It must be emphasised again and again that social acceptance represents European solidarity only if it is able to cross state boundaries and is able to create solidarity within all of the united Europe, as well as between states, in order to help weak and vulnerable countries to rise and catch up. In order for this to be achieved, complex programmes are needed that help those who fall outside our field of vision (as well as those who will not make it to the job market) and that are able to rehabilitate human resources and its environment at the same time. We need complex programmes that will make job market opportunities equal between the existing and the new Member States.
The second great set of tasks is to exercise the powers of freedom
security as well as security
justice. There is no such thing as freedom
security, or security
justice. Martin Schulz indicated, and I have also heard from the mouth of a high-ranking European official, that refugees to the European Union bring with them the danger of terrorism. I hope that you reject this opinion. It is also unacceptable to regard different cultural backgrounds or Non-Christian religious views as a basis for any sort of suspicion. Specific legal measures are called for against discrimination and I am asking you to remember your promise of personal commitment and organisational work in order for the appropriate legal measures to be taken."@en1
