lpv:translated text	"In 2007, the European Parliament, alongside the Commission, the Club of Rome, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), organised a conference on the theme of ‘Beyond GDP’, at which those involved advocated the need to develop other indicators complementary to gross domestic product (GDP). This report, by Mrs Rosbach, is based on a communication tabled by the Commission on 28 September 2009 called ‘GDP and beyond – Measuring progress in a changing world’, and it reflects this need to provide politicians and researchers with data that is more comprehensive. Over recent decades, gross domestic product (GDP) has been the most-used unit of macro-economic measurement, and has started to be used most recently as an indicator of social development. A number of sociologists have been arguing, most recently, that this is not the best indicator as it does not consider aspects such as sustainability or social integration. Since I agree with the rapporteur’s position, I voted for her report, but I believe that the proposal can, and must, be improved by tabling a strategy that is more comprehensive and gradual."@en1
