"Mr President-in-Office of the Council and Mr President of the Commission, you are celebrating and patting yourselves on the back. You are very happy with the results of the spring summit. Do you believe that European citizens feel the same?
I do not think so, because the reform of the Lisbon Strategy which you are promoting sacrifices cohesion and the environment to a neo-liberal version of competitiveness. This is precisely what the famous term 'flexicurity' describes.
After five years of failure, you are setting ambitious targets, with binding timetables for jobs, research, energy and growth; at the same time, the budget is characterised by extreme euro-stinginess and a lack of ambition.
With what resources and what policies are you going to achieve these targets, when crucial sectors, such as the Structural Funds, the trans-European networks, consumer and health policy, research and education are suffering from drastic cutbacks in resources?
Do you believe that you will achieve the targets you have set? My political group does not believe you will and that is why it disagrees with your policy."@en1
