lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, seldom has a Council document – even in this House – been so well received, and this is also reflected in our resolution. In fact, I see a certain convergence between the Council conclusions, the Commission's conclusions and the views of the majority in this House. The issue here is a social Europe in global competition. This needs to be highlighted, because many members of the public have gained the impression over recent years that it was indeed all about competition, but not about a social Europe, or that social Europe was getting lost on the way. One speaker today voiced the opinion that the political leadership in many countries was to blame for the Constitution being seen in such a negative or critical light. I do feel, though, that this was perhaps because many people could not identify with this Europe, because they felt that the social aspect was being neglected or left out. What this Council has achieved with the reform of the Stability Pact – and on this I should like to give the Luxembourg Presidency our warmest congratulations – is not opening the door to more debt; it is taking account of the individual situations of certain countries and it is greater flexibility. What was said about the market in services – admittedly on a global scale – concerns the opening of a common market, not social dumping, as Mr Juncker mentioned last time. That is also our line. I am delighted – including about what Mrs Grossetête said, and I hope that goes beyond the date of the referendum in France – that we are finding a common line here, in order to achieve an opening for Europe which takes account of the social model. Too little perhaps was said about the Youth Pact. It is very important that we send our young people the signal that their Europe should be a Europe of employment and a social Europe. Taking account of social questions does not exclude the fact that we need to move forward on several reforms. One point which I should still like to mention in conclusion is research and development. We have a new proposal for a research and development programme. I hope, Mr President-in-Office, that you and, more importantly, your successors will manage to invest enough money, initiatives and energy in this research programme because, if we want to keep up with the competition, we must promote research and development."@en1
