lpv:spoken text	". The recent Brussels summit concentrated on economic issues. These discussions focused on the workings of the EU economy and how best to stimulate growth by increasing investment and undertaking structural reforms. If we take the right decisions now, we can ensure that the European Union economy grows and prospers in the future. We know that the European economy has been sluggish recently. We need to be in a position to implement the full policy agenda as set out by the Lisbon process. To remain competitive, we must ensure that the benefits of new technologies are spread to all European regions. I welcome the commitment of EU leaders to continue with a multilateral approach to trading issues. It is important that the EU embark on the pension reform process so as to be able to cater for pension payments in the future. I welcome the appointment of Jean Claude Trichet and wish him well in his onerous duties as head of the ECB. In the international arena, EU leaders rightly focused on issues such as Iraq and the future role of the UN. It is also clear that negotiations on the provisions of the new EU treaty are being somewhat fast-tracked."@en1
