Social inclusion and respect for gender equality are fundamental principles underpinning the Lisbon Strategy.
These principles, however, have yet to be anything more than good intentions.
With regard to gender equality, the situation is most alarming: different levels of employment, salary, access to and progress in the labour market, education, participation in vocational training programmes. Women also have greater difficulty in reconciling working life and family life.
Equal treatment should be a key principle of Community law, yet we must translate political principles into practical action. The diagnosis has long been known. It is always the same problem: the Member States lack the courage and the determination to implement the solutions that have been identified.
The financial perspective, in the form in which it was adopted by the Council, did not augur well, in terms of the swingeing cuts to the funds most closely linked with the Lisbon Strategy. I sincerely hope that the talks between Parliament, the Commission and the Council succeed in limiting the damage already done."@en1
