"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I speak on behalf of the Italian Socialists of the New Italian Socialist Party.
As we had cause to highlight before the Council, clear and urgent decisions on the strategy for the forthcoming years are needed for Europe. A fundamental choice needs to be made between the Baltic perspective, the Mediterranean perspective or a balanced mix of the two; a decision needs to be made on whether or not to actually pursue the Lisbon objectives by means of practical and coherent measures; the foundations on which political integration is to be established need to be redefined; and courage is required to clearly aim at a free and competitive economic system and system of social organisation, which can cope with the ongoing processes of globalisation.
We furthermore believe that actions promoting the creation of a common European spirit are essential, as it can only be created by means of a gradual and progressive harmonisation of policies and by means of a debate designed to generate interest, involving the citizens, civil society and the social partners.
A fresh challenge, a large-scale commitment, an ambitious course of action, rightly begun by the Luxembourg Presidency, which will be continued by Mr Blair."@en1
