"The report is a step towards achieving the highly placed objective in the Lisbon strategy of making the EU the world’s most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy, with sustainable economic growth and more and better job opportunities. In a situation in which many of the EU’s Member States are wrestling with major economic concerns, especially Germany and France which are not complying with the requirements of the Euro Stability Pact, this objective feels like a distant one. It is therefore to be welcomed that a start has been made on debating the place of industrial issues in relation to this objective. In spite of everything, industry is the backbone of the European economy.
The report also demands that the national tax systems be harmonised because, as it states, they ‘adversely affect the single market’. We Swedish Christian Democrats object to this wording because decisions about tax policy are a national matter. This led to my voting against paragraph 1d."@en1
