lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats support the proposals of Mr Karas and the Commission. When it comes to economic and employment policy in the European Union, the hour of truth is drawing ever nearer. The demands and the objectives from Lisbon and Gothenburg must now become reality. Simplification is more important than streamlining. Increased participation, increased openness and increased transparency are important. For us Christian Democrats, it is also important to assert that we are in favour of a social, ecological and ethically based market economy in Europe. It must be people-friendly. It must be family-friendly. It must provide room for personal, responsible creativity and also for security and initiative. Open coordination does not stand for standardisation but instead allows Member States, within the framework of close co-operation, still to find the solutions which are best for each individual country. It is important that the environmental objective from Gothenburg be combined with the economic growth requirement and social cohesion to achieve the three dimensions. We regret that the Commission has not included this in its communication. As Christian Democrats let us also emphasise that trust as well as ethical and moral values are fundamental to social and economic development. If the economy lacks trust and an ethical and moral base, it cannot be developed. The European Parliament must achieve greater participation without necessarily demanding the right to make decisions. It is about giving the European Parliament not only the right to be present but also time. To conclude, I would like to say that it is important that the candidate countries take part in this work soon and that the regional and local authorities also be given an active role to play."@en1
