"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first I should like to express my thanks for the report. I should like to speak on two matters: the first concerns Lisbon. The European social model can certainly be combined with competitiveness, cohesion and solidarity, which are not mere buzzwords but need to be transformed into political actions. To this end the results will have to be assessed in practical terms and our great ambitions must not be abandoned. The main road, I must insist, is the one that leads on firmly towards training, schools and research, to give everyone the means to grow and to take part in active citizenship, so that social protection does not turn into a benefits culture.
The second matter concerns citizens’ Europe, which is having difficulty in taking off and certainly requires a great effort on our part in the area of communications. If, however, we do not want it to remain a mere statement of intention, we must support it with adequate funding within our budget, and the Constitutional Treaty can certainly provide some valuable momentum."@en1
