".
I acknowledge the importance and the timeliness of this own-initiative report by the Committee of Economic and Monetary Affairs, both because of the troubled current geopolitical context (which requires a clarification of objectives and of the direction to take), and because of the debate that needs to be launched on vital issues such as the low levels of public and private investment, low productivity growth, the trend of falling rates of employment and the ageing of the population.
Furthermore, it is important, in this context, that we all give due consideration to the impact of issues such as the excessive indebtedness of individuals and undertakings, our over-dependency in energy and the impact of China and India’s entry into the world of industrial production. Although the report does not refer to these aspects, they are nonetheless medium and long-term concerns, for which Europe’s citizens are calling for ‘bold measures from the EU’s decision-makers’.
Lastly, because I do not share the unreserved devotion to the politically federalist and boundlessly liberal vision of the European Union which underlies the rapporteur’s analysis, I decided to abstain from the final overall vote."@en1
