lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the outcome of the spring European Council. Allow me to point out four things. Firstly, the Lisbon process is balanced, which also means that the pillars are interdependent. Secondly, a lot of emphasis is placed on the European social model, which means not only more jobs but also high-quality jobs, social security systems that are secure and that need to be modernised and the reconciliation of working life and family life. Thirdly, I welcome what is said about the Services Directive. I believe that there is a growing consensus on it between the Council and, as I believe, the majority of this Parliament. We need a Services Directive, but it must not look like the existing proposal. We need to be able to retain the European social model. We need to be able to have high environmental requirements and robust consumer rights. I believe it is possible to devise such a proposal. Fourthly, sustainable development is a mainstreaming issue. Ecologically sustainable development is at issue, but so too – and to just as great a degree – is economically and socially sustainable development. Allow me finally to say that not everything is, of course, just negative. It is too easy to be pessimistic. We have not fully complied with the Lisbon process, but there are nonetheless a number of countries that have fulfilled many of its requirements. I shall not name those countries that have successfully met the requirements, but a glance at those countries reveals that they have combined growth, high employment, strong social systems and stringent environmental requirements. We have every reason to be optimistic about the future."@en1
