"The current crisis is more than just an economic and financial crisis. It is, above all, a crisis of confidence. Its most dramatic sign is the high level of unemployment. However, unemployment does not only mean a loss of income, but also a loss of confidence in ourselves and in others.
To restore this confidence, we need to set out a very clear medium-term strategy.
In this respect, the role of political leaders is decisive, due to the signals and messages that they convey. Prudence, security, speaking the truth, and resisting easy propaganda on impracticable targets and self-praise are some of the good practices that could help restore confidence.
On the other hand, we need to create jobs and, to do this, the conditions must exist for investment by companies.
We must act quickly because, if nothing is done in this respect, the financing problems being faced by those countries with the largest deficits in the eurozone will lead to the deepening of the recession, a continual rise in unemployment and the loss of income for companies and families.
That is why I supported Mr Andersson’s report, which proposes maintaining guidelines for employment policies in 2009."@en1
