lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Barroso, we broadly welcome the main guidelines, and as I have just two minutes, I shall touch on two points which, to my mind, should be examined without double standards. The first of these is energy security. Most of our fossil fuels come from areas suffering major political instability, such as the Middle East, Venezuela, Nigeria and Algeria. No matter how much we reassess our reserves, and we negotiate long-term contracts, there will always be a threat to our energy supplies in Europe. The time has come to examine the nuclear option with a cool head, because otherwise we will be living with this sword dangling permanently above our heads. The second issue to which you referred, Mr Schüssel, was that of growth, employment, globalisation and the Lisbon Strategy. On this issue, we must once again avoid double standards. I cannot recall any European project that has not been realised, developed and monitored by the Commission. The time has come to say that this strategy, which has been pursued not on the basis of a Commission proposal but on the basis of intergovernmentalism, has stagnated and is not working. The Commission must be called upon to do more. It needs to set out and monitor a roadmap, as happened with the internal market and the single currency. We still believe that the notion that intergovernmentalism can help the Lisbon Strategy to thrive is deeply flawed. We must not pull the wool over the citizens’ eyes; what we should say is: give the Commission the power that it needs to help the Lisbon Strategy to work."@en1
