"Mr President, I too would like to thank Mrs Figueiredo for her work on this report. I agree with the general content and can support it.
When we speak about a social Europe, the most important aspect of that is our responsibility to those who are most vulnerable within our society. In particular we must protect those suffering from handicap, from disability, from a lack of advantage. The European Union has proven in the past that it can be a force for good by creating equality and providing greater social protection and standing for those most in need.
However, this is not, nor should it be, a one-size-fits-all policy. There is no one single method that has been proven to work in any one area. It is a combination of what is best from each of the ideologies, each of the methods, to achieve the greatest success. So I would caution people against restricting the amount of investment that private industry and business put into creating new jobs, new employment opportunities.
I would also call on Members to ensure that they do not unnecessarily harness negative taxation policies that restrict the room for movement of governments and, most importantly of all, to ensure that we invest in the future of our people through education and life-long learning."@en1
