lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the coordination of the economies of Europe is vital for the development of the EU. The European Union must complete the internal market, improve the European regulatory environment and make the whole European Union less complicated. All new EU legislation must be subject to strict tests to measure its impact on enterprise and competitiveness. The European Union leaders have set the goal that the EU must become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010. A strong and well-functioning internal market is necessary if the European Union is to become the most competitive economy and meet the objective of the social cohesion strategy. The internal market has helped to create 2.5 million jobs in Europe over the last 10 years alone. Europe needs better regulation. That does not mean more regulation; as a matter of fact it means less. A new corporate governance and action plan must be supported, ensuring that European business practice operates at the highest international standards. A new Community patenting system must be put in place within the EU and the Community customs codes must be changed to strengthen and modernise EU customs policy. I support the action for growth initiative, which will ensure that the research and development investment target of 3% of GDP within the European Union must be met by the year 2010. These are not easy challenges, but they must be prioritised. The European Union economy is lagging behind that of our counterparts. We must improve our methodology. These are key challenges now facing Parliament, the Council and the Commission. We must ensure that we work together. Like Mrs Evans I should like to say in Gaelic, a language which I hope will become a working language of this Parliament: There is strength in partnership. Let us get on with it and work together."@en1
