"Mr President, Mr Barroso wants the European Union to engage with civil society; Mr Winkler wants to motivate EU citizens. But there is nothing more likely to cause observers of the European Union to yawn or sigh or say, ‘oh, no, not again!’, than talk of the Lisbon Agenda. Can we not accept that the Lisbon Strategy has sunk, just like the Stability Pact has sunk, which is most unfortunate because that is what underpins the euro currency? If the Lisbon Strategy has not sunk, why do we keep needing to relaunch it?
We all want economic growth and jobs; we all want the economies of Europe to thrive. However, it must be time to recognise that we do not have the right formula. Rather than being the force that drives the necessary reforms, it is the EU with its endless regulations and interference that is holding back the economies of Europe. Recent modest improvements in some European Union economies have been achieved
the European Union. They are more a result of global development.
The economies of the EU do not need a Lisbon Strategy: they need to be left alone to let markets work and to let entrepreneurs create jobs. Can we not see that by continuing to talk about the Lisbon Strategy, the European Union is emphasising its own impotence? Therefore I recommend a period of silence: stop talking about an agenda that, year after year, has been universally acknowledged as a failure."@en1
