"Mr President, Mrs Malmström, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union returned to growth in the third quarter of 2009, which could lead us to believe that the worst is behind us.
However, a worrying situation remains, that of the explosion in unemployment, and we must therefore continue to be extremely cautious. Moreover, the Commission, in a report dated 23 November, states that the financial crisis wiped out more than 4 million jobs between the second quarter of 2008 and mid-2009.
It is vitally important today that, at the next European Council, the issue of employment be discussed within the context of the post-2010 Lisbon Strategy. The latter absolutely must include bold targets and innovative measures.
I believe that, from now on, the debate must focus on adapting this Lisbon Strategy to this confused period. Our fellow citizens expect Europe – and we see it every day on the ground – to provide solutions to the employment crisis. Let us not disappoint them.
However, my observation and my disappointment are akin to those of my colleague, Mr Audy, in the face of an almost empty Chamber, in the face of an extremely worrying situation for our fellow European citizens."@en1
