"The report contains points with which I agree, such as the call for the need to concentrate on the real economy, the only sector that produces certain wealth and is capable of protecting the economy from speculation.
In the same way, I also fully agree with the passages dedicated to SMEs, which alone make up 99% of Europe’s productive fabric. However, the overall tone of the report is characterised by a Euro-centralist view of the situation. I cannot agree, for example, with the continued calls for the need, repeatedly stressed by the rapporteur, to set up a new EU system to find funding from own resources, an expression which hides the more or less surreptitious creation of a European tax to finance the activities of the Union and its programmes to intervene in the economy and society of our countries.
Too much importance – as well as excessive expectations – are attached to the EU 2020 strategy, a slavish copy of the previous wonderful Lisbon strategy, which has come to nothing except a decade lost in pursuing elusive EU economic and social development programmes. I therefore abstained in the vote."@en1
