Between the illusion that all you have to do is to state an objective and it will be met, and the reality that the European economy has not been able to deal with the current economic crisis, there lies a Union made up of different economic and social realities, a Union that repeatedly states its good intentions yet has had little success in solving its problems.
Having said that, it cannot be denied that Europe is the best continent to live in.
Accordingly, if Europe wants to be the most competitive economy, we need to alter the route that we have been taking. This must be done without losing our best features and our core elements, and ensuring respect for the historical and cultural diversity and the varied levels of development across the countries of Europe.
I therefore believe that the resolution before us articulates a vision that I share: sustainable growth and employment must be the EU’s most pressing objectives and achieving those objectives will promote environmental and social progress. There can be no European social model without a European economy, and there is also no point in having a competitive economy that does not serve the interests of the citizens."@en1
