The Commission communication which serves as the basis for this report follows up the request made at the Spring Council in Barcelona to streamline the relevant policy coordination processes and to improve the implementation of the ‘Lisbon strategy’. It is on this issue that the rapporteur attempts to somewhat improve the unacceptable position maintained by the European Commission, which systematically overlooks the social and environmental spheres.
Nevertheless, these improvements are clearly inadequate, since the proposals that we tabled on the need to amend the aims, criteria and bases of the Stability Pact were rejected. We had tabled these proposals according to the principle that the Member States’ budgets must reflect the needs of every people and of every country and not the interests of the financial groups which the European Central Bank is seeking to serve. Consequently, no guarantees have been made to establish conditions that will ensure that priority is given to employment, to economic and social cohesion and to combating social exclusion, a crucial issue in the fight against the dominance of neo-liberal policies in the European Union.
Therefore, despite the fact that a few individual aspects can be seen as positive, we have voted against this report."@en1
