lpv:translated text	". The revision of the Lisbon Strategy is based on the three strands of competitiveness, growth and employment. In order to relaunch the social component, the Council has tabled a new Social Agenda (2006-2010), which to my mind falls short of what might justifiably be expected. I have no objection to the underlying philosophy of creating a European ‘labour market’, nor to the various measures proposed, such as concluding collective transnational conventions on work, promoting jobs for women and combating poverty. My criticism lies elsewhere. I feel that this vague and not exactly binding instrument is not the most appropriate or proportionate answer to the pressing need for modernisation, with a view to achieving growth and competitiveness. For example, the Social Agenda attaches little importance to local economies and to small and medium-sized enterprises, which are key elements in economic development and jobs, and are responsible for over 90% of business activity in Europe. The overriding impression is that this is a catalogue of good political intentions. In other words, although I agree with the diagnosis, I fear that the recommended treatment is not the most suitable. I voted in favour of this report because I agree with the points the Commission makes therein on the initiative."@en1
