lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I feel, quite frankly, that the debate in this Chamber is rather paradoxical, since we are taking a fragmented approach to issues such as the Lisbon Strategy, the Financial Perspectives, the forthcoming European Council and the possible ways to reform the Stability and Growth Pact. The last, by the way, is an issue on which everyone except Parliament is taking action. I believe, instead, that these aspects should all be dealt with together. Indeed, social cohesion and growth in the number and quality of jobs have certainly not been facilitated by policies focusing on competitiveness, nor by monetarist policies. These have even been enshrined in the new Constitutional Treaty, the only case in history where a constitution includes a monetary treaty. We are confronted by the paradox of a Europe with a very strong currency but a weak economy in a deepening crisis and a society in great difficulty. There is a growing number of factors that are likely to make the situation even worse, such as those implicit in the Bolkestein directive, in the European budget cuts and in the false flexibility of the Stability Pact, which some would like to see used only to downgrade pensions. That has all led to a Europe of social fragmentation, relocations and the inevitable decline in its social and cultural model. We have to set off along a new path, one that breaks with economics and monetarism, is based on an upward harmonisation of rights and wage levels and provides new impetus for quality development. To achieve that, it is necessary on the left to break out of the Stability Pact straitjacket so as to invest within individual countries – but also directly as the European Union – in research, innovation and whatever else is needed to promote development. What we need, therefore, is a different Europe, a social Europe, the kind of Europe that we shall be demanding at the European demonstration in Brussels on 19 March."@en1
