lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I wish to thank Mr Trentin for the very good job he has done under extremely difficult circumstances. The latest version of the report arrived this morning, and it has not been easy for any of us on the committees to cooperate under these conditions. We are nonetheless agreed on many issues, and Mr Trentin has done very well in accepting a number of the viewpoints produced by our committee. I agree with him that the starting point must be the fact that the European economies are in the doldrums right now and need to be strengthened and that investments need to be made in what is necessary and in what there is substantial political agreement about. Both Mr Trentin and Mr Marinos have talked about education. I would especially emphasise basic education and basic professional training. It is also important to invest money in improving the ecological infrastructures, which are beneficial for the future, as well as to invest money in education, which has a large effect upon employment. It is important not only to do those things that are required immediately but also those that are required in the long term and that will have beneficial social consequences. It is therefore crucial to give particular attention, and more than has been given so far, to the importance of strengthening those local labour markets that are less vulnerable to economic trends. We shall have the opportunity to return to this subject in Parliament a little later when we debate a report from the Commission about developing local employment strategies. I wish finally to say that, unfortunately, we have not had the opportunity to take sufficient account of the East European countries and their economies, something which it would be desirable to do as part of this process. Certainly, there are other measures which need to be prioritised in the short term, but as soon as we have a somewhat longer-term perspective it will be necessary to discuss the economics in a pan-European perspective."@en1
