lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating the Danish Presidency and the Danish Government. Congratulations on having just passed your first 100 days in power as the new government in Denmark. At the elections in September, Helle Thorning-Schmidt and her allies put a clear question to the Danish people: are we to get ourselves out of the crisis by investing or by saving? Are we to overcome the crisis by creating jobs or by creating unemployment? The Danish people gave their answer by electing Ms Thorning-Schmidt as Prime Minister. The question that the Danish Prime Minister asked during the Danish elections is even more relevant in the EU as a whole because, as has already been said, the EU is experiencing the deepest crisis that it has ever faced. More than 10% of our citizens in the European Union are unemployed, with 5 million in Spain alone – which is more than the entire Danish population – and youth unemployment is catastrophic. Two thirds of EU Member States have a youth unemployment rate above 20% – in Lithuania it is over 30%, in Greece over 40% and in Spain almost 50%. Therefore, it is also disappointing to read the programme of the Danish Presidency. It could almost have been written by ‘Merkozy’. Gone are the ideas of investing our way out of the crisis and back are the demands for savings to get us out of the crisis. Honestly speaking, however, is there anyone who believes that we can overcome the current crisis by ordering cuts and reductions? The EU tried this in Greece. It did not work. The EU tried again in Greece. Still it did not work. Now we are trying for a third time in Greece, and it will still not work! The Danish Presidency’s programme bears the grand title ‘Europe at work’, but the policy that is presented will lead to more unemployment. My group believes that this is completely the wrong approach to take. I would like to finish by saying to the Danish Presidency that people in the Member States do not need more cuts dictated by Europe. They do not need euro pacts or financial treaties to reduce public services and cut wages. People in Europe need jobs to improve their shared prosperity. The Danish Presidency has six months to show us that it is part of the solution and not part of the problem."@en1
