"A successful exit from the crisis depends on the closest possible coordination in the field of the economy, and we should therefore aim to be competitive, connected and greener. In light of the current turmoil, increasing competitiveness and the creation of jobs are priority areas. We have set a goal whereby 75% of the population aged 20 to 64 years should be in employment; a high employment rate should, however, be a matter of course, but if we truly wish it to be so, the Member States should also identify with our efforts. They should have these goals in mind when they adopt measures and not only at a pan-European level. The growth deficit in Europe represents a serious threat to our future and, at this moment, we have to fight together with the aim of helping Europe recover from the crisis. We will not achieve growth and employment by means other than cooperation and investment. Growth and job creation depend on healthy and well-connected markets in which competition and consumers stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation; the European Union must become a more attractive place to invest. Let us not forget SMEs, which are the driving force behind the European economy, and let us also not forget scientific research, which is essential for the growth of productivity. Cuts alone will not help us overcome the crisis. They mainly affect the most vulnerable EU citizens, who are ultimately those who are most affected by the crisis, and we should combat this crisis in the spirit of modern social democracy."@en1
