"The positive aspect of the report on the broad guidelines for economic policies is the desire to involve national parliaments in the Lisbon process, by making sure that they organise parliamentary debates before the Spring Council. On the other hand, it is unrealistic to state that, by involving the European Parliament in the preparation for Spring summits, there will no longer be a democratic deficit in economic governance. We should also refuse to give the European Commission more influence in coordinating economic policies. By attacking the November 2003 decision of the Ecofin ministers to put an end to sanctions against France and Germany for excessive deficits, the European Commission showed that it had too much power. The Stability and Growth Pact criteria, which are not economically justifiable, must be abolished to allow Member States to conduct budgetary policies that encourage growth. Finally, we refuse to accept that the sole priority of the European economy should be the environmental aspect of sustainable development, thus leaving aside the citizens and regions of the Member States, victims of unemployment and rural depopulation. Let us give people their place in the economy by making employment a priority."@en1
