lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it will be impossible to achieve the objectives laid down by the Lisbon Strategy unless the European Union radically changes the way it addresses the economic and social problems that characterise contemporary society in Europe and the rest of the world. We live in a globalised market economy, which only appears to support free competition. A prerequisite for free competition, in fact, is starting off on the same footing, or at least on a comparable footing, based on negotiated trade-offs. That prerequisite does not exist in practice, just as there is also no mobility policy in the various sectors that might help to revitalise competitiveness and hence employment. Politics, finance and the economy have to find new rules for running the system imposed by the global market, to replace the rules that governed the market before globalisation. Europe’s institutions must be short-sighted and unable to grasp the consequences of globalised information over the Internet if they still believe that getting together and announcing a series of intentions is enough to make them actually materialise. It is not sufficient to make long-term plans which are handed down from on high. History shows that during the last century a great power’s economy collapsed under the weight of reality because of centralised plans that were splendid only in theory. Reality does not depend on plans; on the contrary, plans have to take account of reality. At this stage in our society it cannot be enough to have an economy still based exclusively on unbridled consumerism. At the Lisbon European Council, when the knowledge-based society was first defined, a few issues were overlooked, such as making rules to ensure that knowledge is genuine and not manipulated or used for illicit ends. In addition, the Lisbon strategy will not be able to take off if the Union’s objectives do not include identifying and implementing measures to provide developing countries with effective help, leading them to democracy and respect for human rights and the rights of workers and children. It is essential to think in terms of social economics in parallel with development economics. To achieve this aim, Europe has to change its relations with those countries where workers do not enjoy social security or legal protection and where children cannot play but are forced to work. Environmental protection and the creation of a European social model are goals that must be pursued."@en1
