lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, sustainable development is something obviously desirable that we all seek. Who could possibly be opposed to it? Strategy and approach have great significance for the future prosperity of Europe and the world where these issues are concerned. They are linked together rather than integrated. The resolution originated in Gothenburg five years ago and emphasises certain components needed for turning the Sustainable Development Strategy into a reality. More emphasis could have been placed on the way in which strong economic development can increase the opportunities for creating smart technology. Innovative environmental solutions too may require investment if they are to be profitable. The administrative dimension is emphasised to an unnecessary degree in the resolution, which sometimes shows too little appreciation of the realities of the business world. Most of the resolution can be implemented, but the market perspective should not be lost. I say this in my capacity as the person appointed by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats to take responsibility for this issue in the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection. When the leitmotif of the resolution was the merger of the Lisbon Strategy and the Sustainable Development Strategy, we had difficulty voting for it, but we now think that there is an acceptable compromise. We are not opposed to the strategy. On the contrary, we unreservedly support sustainable development in trade and industry, environmental work and society in general. We cannot, however, encourage a merger of the Lisbon and sustainability strategies right now, since the former, unlike the latter, is already in use. We are not, however, closing the door to such a merger for ever. Following the review that has now been carried out, we think that the resolution has acquired a tone that we can, in general, support."@en1
