"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, under the present circumstances, reconfirming the Lisbon objectives would appear to be of somewhat secondary importance because we are, of course, all concerned about the war, its huge political consequences and the human tragedy.
I am here to talk about Lisbon, however, and I think that the agreement reached at the Council about common action by the European governments is an important element of political stability with the present split in Europe. It was important, in these difficult times, for the European governments to express a common political will to continue their efforts in the social field. It is equally important for these targets to be closely linked to education and research. This meets the expectations of European citizens, who know full well that we cannot achieve more and better jobs and greater economic growth without education and research.
We will, of course, have to be highly critical when it comes to meeting the targets. We are seriously behind schedule, as everyone admits, and that should spur us on to even greater effort. In order to make progress, we need more cooperation on investment programmes in all sectors, including training and lifelong learning which, together with education and research, are communicating vessels. Education must prove that it knows how to incorporate European culture and sciences, the learning process, in order to produce learned students with job prospects."@en1
