"The true crisis eating away at Europe is unemployment, uncertainty and the destabilisation of public services.
The people are reminding their leaders of their existence. Those who voted ‘no’ in France are calling for a major change of direction for European integration and a renegotiation of the Treaty. The pause for reflection must be used for that purpose. The first requirement is social: to create growth and employment without making working conditions too flexible, and without pulling our social model down. The guidelines for growth and employment adopted during this Summit, however, run completely counter to this objective.
At a time when employees are demanding guarantees and an end to ultraliberalism, ‘we are carrying on as normal’.
We should have withdrawn the Bolkestein directive and the Working Time Directive and proposed a social Treaty in their place. The Council is deaf to the expectations of the people.
In order to extricate ourselves from the budgetary deadlock, we must increase the European budget in the interests of revival and cohesion.
As long as the budget depends on revenues from the Member States, the blockages will be stronger than the general interest. The alternative to a European tax is European borrowing."@en1
