lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am a firm believer in the Lisbon strategy because it consists of a great many different policy areas that have to be coordinated. I felt very concerned before the Barcelona Summit, and about two matters in particular. The first of these was the balance of the strategy. I was afraid that the balance would be disturbed, and that the talk would merely be of deregulation. My second anxiety was as to whether the sustainable development strategy would be given enough space in the document. Where the first point is concerned, I am glad that matters did not turn out as I had feared. I believe that the process is well balanced. It contains proposals for deregulating the gas, electricity and financial markets, together with proposals in the social sphere such as those for improving child care and increasing employment, all of which entails a strengthening of the social model. When it comes to the proposals on sustainable development, I have to state however that these are insubstantial. It was as I had feared. All that is really clear is the proposal that countries sign the Kyoto Protocol. That is undoubtedly important, but the document is otherwise far too flimsy and consists merely of notes where certain matters are concerned. The ecological aspects will clearly disappear in the future. Another aspect of sustainable development is the relationship between ourselves as rich countries and the developing countries. The target set for development aid falls far short of the UN’s target. The objective of coming up with one half of the 0.7% established by the UN is not nearly good enough. Seen in relation to what the Commission proposed, the fight against poverty is being undermined. I have high hopes for the Lisbon process. I also hope that it will be possible to maintain the balance in the future and that, at forthcoming spring summits, the ecological dimension and issues surrounding sustainable development will be integrated more clearly into the process. That is crucial if the process is to survive."@en1
