lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we support Mr Barroso’s initiative, and we are delighted that the Commission is taking steps to achieve the Lisbon goals in full. We find it incomprehensible that Mr Barroso has been criticised over the Lisbon strategy, as after all it is not the European Commission’s fault that the Lisbon strategy has not yet been implemented. It is the Member States who are to blame for the fact that the Lisbon strategy continues to be a paper construct rather than a feature of Europe’s real economic life, as it is they who lacked the courage to reform the European Union’s economies. I come from a country in which for over 45 years attempts were made to cast a verbal spell over the economy. This is an impossible task, as what economies need is concrete action. It is precisely because the European Commission is in favour of such action that we will support it. I should like to make it very clear at this point that there is little chance of our commitments under the Lisbon strategy being honoured, or of real growth being achieved in Europe, if the Member States lack the necessary courage. This is the very courage they also lack when it comes to the services directive that is currently under debate. The prerequisites for growth in Europe are lower taxes, less regulation and more economic freedom. Reality is knocking at our door, and Europe is not alone in the world. We are all fully aware that Asia is experiencing very rapid growth, and that the United States is also experiencing growth. Sooner or later, this economic reality will come knocking at our door. We would therefore like to wish you courage and success, Mr President, in achieving the Lisbon goals."@en1
