I abstained on the resolution proposed jointly by the large groups on the preparations for the spring 2004 summit because, while full of good intentions, it misses the key elements of the issue. One might even say that the people who drafted it were trying to illustrate the failings that I denounced during yesterday’s debate: increasing regulation (see paragraph 18 for example), coordination (paragraph 2), and even ‘enhanced synchronisation of coordination processes’ (paragraph 15); nothing on the problems of cutting compulsory levies, supporting wealth creators or restoring Community preferences.
Could we really expect anything strong, however, from a resolution, which, like many others in this Assembly, is the result of a compromise between the right and the socialists?
The principal countries of Europe are sinking into prolonged stagnation, ever greater paralysis and a brain drain, because they seem to believe that administrative procedures create wealth, whereas at best they merely provide creators with favourable conditions. They are the ones who should be given priority. But that implies a revolution in thinking which the right will not achieve by allying itself with the socialists."@en1
