"Mr President, as the President-in-Office of the Council said a short time ago, the spring European Council will focus mainly on the Stability and Growth Pact and the Lisbon strategy, a strategy which is considered to have failed and to need review. It needs review because the number of unemployed in Europe today has now reached 20 million, with 70 million people at risk of poverty, wages paid to women are, on average, 16% lower than wages paid to men and real convergence has not therefore been achieved. Unfortunately, Lisbon puts social policies in second place. With the changes proposed to the Stability Pact and to the Lisbon strategy itself, the strategy cannot be made into a pro-grass roots strategy. It is a paradox and it is absurd for us to talk about creating the most productive economy on the planet, on the one hand, and to want reductions in budgets and, hence, less cohesion, on the other. Only with a series of radical measures, which also include increased resources for social growth, can the Lisbon strategy become a more pro-grass roots strategy."@en1
