lpv:translated text	"I wish to state that I voted against Mrs Van Lancker’s report. Rarely do such conservatively socialistic reports find their way into the European Parliament plenary sitting as this report of Mrs Van Lancker’s on the EU’s socio-political programme that we voted for. In her programme declaration, Mrs Van Lancker says she would like to implement all those measures whose very implementation people sought to prevent by voting in a non-socialist majority in the European Parliament in the last elections. I repeat, ‘prevent’. I shall be quite appalled if the Commission really intends to support these totally unrealistic, almost absurd demands, which have just been approved. Parliament’s proposals could not be more at odds with the aims of Lisbon. At Lisbon the mainly socialist leaders of the EU governments declared aloud their aim to make Europe the world’s most dynamic and competitive economy. If Mrs Van Lancker’s proposals are adopted we shall definitely be stepping back light years in terms of our ability to achieve the important, ambitious and indispensable aims of Lisbon. What then does the good lady propose? According to Mrs Van Lancker, working hours in Europe must be shortened significantly, the body of EU socio-political legislation must be increased substantially, the levels of social protection in Europe must be raised massively, the power of the Trade Union movement increased and supranational labour market negotiations made possible, labour organisations must be given greater rights to be heard, and socio-political influence must be a priority in all sectors of the economy, in competition policy and in public procurements. I might just remind my colleagues of the wise words of the Chairperson of the CDU, Angela Merkel, who said that in politics we need more sociability, but sociability is not the same thing as socialism."@en1
