"Mr President, we are seeing the unacceptable social costs of the austerity measures. We have to turn round our ailing economy in order to achieve a sustainable economy, but we cannot solve the problem by using the same policies which brought us here in the first place.
In my own constituency in Wales, youth unemployment is rising dramatically and women are losing jobs at an alarming rate, yet there is huge potential to build a thriving economy. We need an economy in which we can foster enterprise, combat inequality, create green jobs and support community and cooperative organisations. We need procurement models that are accessible to smaller businesses to help the local economy and create employment. We need to invest in improving housing, health and the environment: this will create millions of jobs and improve society.
We have to look to the future and start refocusing investment, including the huge possibilities of the Structural Funds and the EIB. We have to look at jobs which can put people back to work: sustainable jobs that create work for the long term."@en1
