"Mr President, I would like firstly to congratulate the rapporteur, Mrs Jöns, the Commissioner and the Council on having worked so quickly and so well. Thanks to them, Europe will have this instrument from 1 January, and I hope that it will be, as we have said, a leap forward in terms of improving the coherence and complementarity of the existing programmes. Secondly, Mr President, I would like to express my satisfaction at the fact that we are taking the Lisbon process seriously in its entirety. That process obliges us to implement an economic reform and, undoubtedly, a modernisation of Europe, but at the same time to remember that, in order to ensure that the economic reform is a success, we must build a more cohesive and inclusive society. Now that PROGRESS is on the table, I believe that those who say that the social Europe is purely an issue for the Member States are mistaken. Europe has much to say and much to do and, although it is clearly still the Member States which are building their welfare states, Europe offers added value in the form of coherence and intelligence and helps our Member States to deal with the immense challenges facing us in this era of globalisation. I therefore hope that the Commission will act intelligently. It is a small instrument financially speaking, but it must be used very intelligently. I hope that we can maintain this approach of working together, of not losing sight of our priorities and of making our Agenda the citizens' Agenda."@en1
