"Mr President, Mr Barroso, I would be interested to know which countries’ deficits have increased in recent years, which countries have raised their tax rates, and in which countries more people have become unemployed. I think your policy is the right one; you are trying to ensure that Europe does not spend the time until 2010 following those countries’ policies. I would like to ask Commissioner Wallström which countries have actually created jobs. Who has created the most new jobs? Who has cut taxes? Who has achieved a Budget surplus? The fact that we have these two paths before us is something of which I think we have to remind ourselves. Do we want the one or the other? The Commission under Mr Barroso has made it quite clear that the Lisbon Strategy is intended, between now and 2010, to create new jobs, increase wages in real terms and put Europe in a better position as regards global competitiveness. To do that, we have to invest in research. I believe that we have to double the funding for the Sixth Framework Programme. Although it has already been laid down in black and white, I believe we also have to get all 25 countries to conform to it; we have to take inflation into account and also lay down a proper timeframe for it. We must work to at last complete the internal market, to have a competitive system for transporting energy across borders, and it is vitally important that we use Government Learning, and Europe to make what Europe is about accessible once and for all. There is much to be done. I think Commissioner Wallström has to be supported by all of us in making the European Union present and visible to the European citizens of the future. This is where we have a lot to offer, and, here in this House too, we have to think up completely new ways of becoming more comprehensible to the public. By way of conclusion, let me suggest that the repayments to the Member States should be made conditional on added value to Europe and on subsidiarity, thus ensuring that the European Budget is actually used to benefit the public."@en1
