"Thank you, Ms Thorning-Schmidt, for the programme you presented today. I would like to express my firm support for some of its objectives, and to draw particular attention to several problems. I welcome the fact that the Danish Presidency wants to support strong European institutions, respect common principles based on European values and stimulate dynamic economic growth. It is important that you want to base what you do on the principle of solidarity. This seems to me to be the most important, because only in this way can we protect ourselves from serious and dangerous divisions inside the Union, irrespective of what economic or social turbulence is still before us. Budgetary discipline and fiscal austerity are undoubtedly necessary. I am hoping, however, in relation to the fact that you come from a country with traditions of a social economy, that you will take care that these cuts do not hit most at the weakest. I want to draw particular attention to the situation of women, among whom the level of employment is still low and is in danger of falling even lower; to the situation of young people, who after completing their education remain without work for too long; to the situation of disabled people and to the employment situation of people over the age of 50. Regardless of savings, money and appropriate programmes must be found for the creation of new jobs. I wish you success in achieving the objectives you have adopted."@en1
