"Madam President, growth is not a game where the sum total is zero. We do not need to dissolve our societies and destroy the environment in order to achieve high growth objectives.
In March 2000, we decided at Lisbon to maximise the competitiveness of Europe, subject to the limitations imposed by the maintenance of cohesion and environmental protection. However, what we referred to at the time as the Lisbon strategy described everything we wanted, but not how we would achieve it.
Today we worked out our priorities. Competitiveness is no longer the sum total of wishful thinking. It is a strategy of hierarchical priorities. Thus, the mid-term review summarises the Lisbon strategy in a simple equation:
Emphasis on research and technology programmes + support for small and medium-sized enterprises + construction of crucial infrastructures + improved human resources + promotion of structural changes = maintainable long-term growth and sustainable development.
We must distinguish these objectives in the budget and we must not deny these objectives financing. We must also remember that we cannot achieve more growth with less money, just as we cannot achieve financial stability with less growth."@en1
