"Madam President, the essential point of Parliament’s resolution is the definition of European competitiveness. We include social and environmental sustainability in competitiveness. The Commission speaks too narrowly of competition and employment. We Social Democrats are calling for social and environmental sustainability. Moreover, this is how it should be. In the long term, competitiveness will not be sustainable if it is not based on a social framework and the environment. Is that possible? Yes, it is. For example, my country is just as competitive as the United States of America, to which we are frequently compared. At the same time we have been able to maintain social and environmental sustainability, unlike the United States. As a consequence, ours is a more equal, more secure and more environmentally sustainable society. Competition must not be allowed to merely become a benefit for the few, because at the end of that road awaits a controlled society, currently the digitalised control dictatorship. As a member of the Lisbon Committee, I was disappointed that the report is not insisting that the names of those Member States that have not implemented the Lisbon legislation should be repeatedly published. There are as many as 1 500 internal market laws that have not been implemented and the process has therefore come to a halt thanks to a certain kind of non-solidarity movement. I would ask the media now to publish over and over again the names of the Member States that purposely avoid implementation. That way, having received the information, people could encourage implementation. That would be one method of sustainable development."@en1
