"I congratulate the Austrian Presidency on its desire to propose serious paths with a view to improving the decision-making process within the European Union. France and Germany have also made proposals designed to move things forward in this area. We can only encourage them in this regard and, as from this week, the European Parliament will play its full part in this exercise.
It is not a question here of rhetoric, but of ensuring that, after an in-depth consultation, decisions can be made about European matters with no delays or obstacles. We need to go beyond the ‘reflection stage’ and move on to the stage of realistic and courageous proposals to be implemented over the next few years.
For Europeans, growth and employment are the most worrying issues. They therefore require a strong political commitment and a precise action programme on the part of Europe, its Member States and its Parliament.
I hope that the 2006 Spring European Council succeeds in getting the revised Lisbon Strategy back on track in order finally to rescue us from the incantations and to focus our attention on the real issues and, in so doing, to provide a clear indication once again of the direction in which European affairs should be steered."@en1
