"Mr President, the Lisbon strategy was a success. I also wish to state that the previous summit – the Spring Summit in Stockholm – was a success. However, I am not too sure that the Barcelona Summit will be so. That will depend upon the balance between the various issues, for most of the talk I have heard so far has been about liberalising various markets.
I myself come from a country, Sweden, which has a Social Democratic government and which has done more than many other countries to liberalise the markets. I therefore have nothing against liberalisation as such, but it must be balanced against a vigorous employment strategy, quality of employment, the fight against poverty and, in particular, efforts towards sustainable development. These aspects do not appear to weigh so heavily in the arguments deployed prior to the Barcelona Summit.
In his report, Mr Bullmann has succeeded in achieving a balance between, on the one hand, liberalisation and, on the other hand, sustainable development, employment strategy and quality of employment. I hope that this balance will be achieved at the Barcelona Summit because that summit will be judged by outsiders on the basis of how successful it is in that respect. It must not just be about liberalisation. The other aspects of the Lisbon strategy must also be dealt with if the Barcelona Summit is to be a success."@en1
