lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it sounds wonderful that the EU wants to create the most competitive, dynamic and knowledge-based economy. But would it not have sounded even better if the EU had chosen to create the most environmentally friendly, sustainable, just and equal economy? This appears not to be the case, particularly not in the report by Mr Gasòliba i Böhm, which is an ode to deregulation, privatisation and social cutbacks, i.e. the things which create deep divisions and environmental damage. For example, my own country Sweden has in the past been a very egalitarian country. According to many reports since joining the EU, it is now a country where divisions, antagonism and inequality are increasing the most rapidly. I would like to recommend all market fundamentalists to read the following in today’s “California and New Zealand that were once keen privatisers are now both turning their backs on deregulation. They are ready to renationalize. California is turning dramatically left. New Zealand’s experiment in market fundamentalism has failed”. With this in mind, I wonder what the Swedish Presidency intends to do now. The Swedish Presidency was in fact recently praised by for the egalitarian traditions in Sweden. Are you now going to continue down the EU’s incorrect road towards deregulation fundamentalism? Or will you instead perhaps regain some sort of tradition of solidarity and try to move the EU in a direction which takes more account of environmental friendliness, sustainability and solidarity? It would be interesting to receive an answer on this."@en1
