". Mr President, we are currently experiencing a particularly worrying economic and social situation and, despite all the declarations about the priority that should be given to social policy, the reality of the situation shows that unemployment and the standard of living are growing worse for a significant proportion of the population. The situation is now being made even worse in some countries by the drought and the disaster of the forest fires, particularly in Portugal. It should be noted that, in order to achieve the employment targets set by the Council in 2000, more than 15 million new high-quality jobs with rights will have to be created by 2010. What we are seeing more of, however, is unemployment. Poverty also remains at scandalous levels: more than 15% of the population, or around 56 million people, is now in danger of falling into poverty. This situation should sound the alarm for changing Community and monetarist policies, in order to attach the greatest priority to public investment and to other measures for promoting employment and social inclusion. This is why, in our proposals, we insist on the need for the Stability Pact to be revised. I hope, moreover, that the investment and spending that have had to be made as a result of the disastrous forest fires and droughts are at least factored in when calculating the budget deficit."@en1
