".
In seeking to turn Europe into the most competitive and dynamic economy, we must not turn our backs on social concerns, and growth must be backed up by policies promoting greater social cohesion.
I therefore endorse the adoption of measures aimed at supporting the family, reducing inequalities between countries, resolving the birth rate problem, analysing the impact of the directive on services in the labour market, encouraging vocational training and setting up small and medium-sized businesses.
Unlike the rapporteur, I do not believe that social problems in Europe can be solved without taking into account price stability, cost reduction and budget deficit reduction.
I also do not agree that the fight against poverty and social exclusion can be pursued solely in the social economy. Rather, I feel that encouraging private initiative should be the driving force behind any economy and behind solutions to a country’s social problems.
Lastly, I feel that Europe’s demographic problem is better solved by boosting the birth rate, rather than by emigration.
Unfortunately, the rapporteur’s maximalist positions, and those of her group, led to the rejection of this report. This is a pity because the issue is a serious one that deserved more suitable recommendations, in other words more realistic, objective and balanced recommendations."@en1
