lpv:translated text	"I must firstly congratulate the rapporteur on the quality of his work. The broad guidelines of European economic policy developed in this report seem to be heading in the right direction. Full employment and the transition to a knowledge-based economy form our common aim for the first decade of the 21st century. Whether or not the pessimists like this, all the economic lights are on green. We must therefore be bold in order to continue the growth now being witnessed at European level. The prospects for the years 2000 and 2001 are encouraging, with growth forecasts of over 3%. This will reinforce social links, increase solidarity and equal opportunities and, in particular, eliminate the inevitability of the mass unemployment which we have been enduring for too long. This last point clearly poses the main problem. Although unemployment has already gradually reduced, it is still at an unacceptable level throughout the Community, given the forecasts for 2001 of 8% unemployment among the working population. This is particularly true at the outer edges of the Community, in other words in the most remote regions. As I have said many times before, the fruits of growth must be shared equally by all European citizens, both mainlanders and islanders. This is the price of constructing a 21st century Europe with a human face in whose collective development everyone is involved. In this way we will all be able to make progress in our own individual areas, but still be heading in the same general direction. I voted in favour of the report by Mr Katiforis because I believe in this Europe."@en1
