"Mr President, the Spring Summit must be an opportunity to re-evaluate the Lisbon agenda with a greater emphasis on the environmental and social aspects of sustainable development. We cannot just focus on competition and a free market economy to deliver the type of Europe that we want. This was agreed in Lisbon and in Gothenburg but is not being implemented. The so-called big three meeting between Britain, France and Germany last week proved that, despite the leadership shown by the Irish presidency and the fact that many small states would be joining the EU in May – half of them smaller than Wales, the constituency that I represent – the big Member States still wanted to dictate the agenda. Their focus is on economic reform and flexibility, to the detriment of quality employment, better pay and conditions, greater attention to caring needs, the sustainable use of resources and creating an inclusive society. These issues have to be given priority at this Spring Summit if we are to achieve sustainability and quality in Europe in the future."@en1
