lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I have six ideas that I would like to put forward on this subject. In the first place, although we are all aware that globalisation is going on, I do believe, in contrast to Mr Mölzer, who spoke just now, that we have to seize it as an opportunity if we want to take the right action. Secondly, we have to observe what the World Trade Organisation does about it, and strengthen the UN as the world’s ethics organisation alongside it. Ideas about a ‘global Marshall Plan’ in development cooperation are highly relevant in this respect. My third point is that the Euro was our greatest contribution to this. Economic and monetary union is a response to globalisation, and that is why the Stability and Growth Pact must be adhered to if we are to carve out the scope for more of the kind. Fourthly, population change is a headache for us; we need to sort out our social security and pensions systems, and, if we fail do so with a sufficiently lasting effect, we will certainly lose out to globalisation. A few days ago, Jean-Claude Juncker told a gathering of the European People’s Party that ‘the globalisers’ young people are in Asia, and demographic changes mean that the globalisers’ senior citizens are in the West’. We see this as a disconcerting analysis of our necessary response. Fifthly, we make the internal market into a domestic market and make the four freedoms a reality for employers and workers. The services directive is part of that. Lastly, I will point out that education and research and small and medium-sized businesses need the right sort of financial backup if we are to seize the opportunities in our own back yard and not shrink back from the risks involved."@en1
