lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the meeting of the Stockholm European Council is a very important stage for us as it will reconcile two of our major concerns: a competitive economy and the defence of a social model. However, it seems to us that the documents which will be submitted to the Stockholm European Council may be excessively numerous and that we may have to make more progress in preparing for these meetings. A large number of documents is not necessarily the best guarantee of a future strategy. From this perspective, I would like to recall the proposals made by Parliament for a merger between the Economic and Financial Committee and the Economic Policy Committee. I think there is food for thought here. We are gratified moreover by the adoption of a restricted list of structural indicators. It is the right course to follow for progress to be made at European level. To simply talk about structural reforms does not mean very much; we need to know which reforms we are talking about. And it seems to us that everything that concerns human investment must be of paramount importance. Structural reforms must be based first and foremost on the notion of human investment. Faced with an ageing population, which you referred to, Mr Prodi, it seems to us that we neglect at our peril investment in education, in mobility, in languages, in lifelong learning, and in research too, which you mentioned when you spoke just now on patents and Galileo. President of the Commission, allow me to remind you, however, of the commitments we undertook, especially in Nice, regarding the social agenda. It seems to us that this is a very important issue on which we must make progress in the European Union, including at the Stockholm European Council."@en1
