".
We are called upon to state our position on the outcome of the European Council on the Lisbon Strategy. We note that, once again, the Heads of State and Government are following the liberal ideology of European integration. The aim of the Lisbon Council of March 2000 was to establish the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. Three years on, the results are far from conclusive, to say the least. As the number of redundancy plans rises in Europe, as growth in the eurozone is slowing down – 1% instead of an estimated 1.8% – and as the jaws of the Stability and Growth Pact are closing, the Fifteen are continuing to liberalise railways, energy and air travel, deregulate social protection and make the job market more flexible. That is why we refuse to endorse the Council conclusions.
What we urgently need now is a complete change of direction towards greater democracy and citizen control, more public services, increased social protection based on solidarity and greater equality between men and women and between nationals and immigrants."@en1
