"The Luxembourg process introduced a new way of working within the EU. It involved taking new initiatives to strengthen employment policy in the Union. After five years, we can now say that this strategy has been successful, even if there is still much to be improved.
The open method of coordination is not based on legislation, but on common policy objectives. This has proved to be an effective method of managing employment issues. Parliament does not have co-decision in the open coordination. A role that is based on co-decision, which is now required in recital R in the adopted report, would undermine open coordination as a method. As a Swedish Christian Democrat I cannot support this.
Recital E in the report also criticises the entrepreneurship pillar, stating that the emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises has been too narrow a perspective. This statement is in direct contradiction of the political priorities of the Christian Democrats in Sweden. For this reason also, I have not been able to support the report."@en1
