The European social model is in need of reform. The question, though, is how to reform something that is virtually ‘emblematic’ of today’s Europe.
The answer is: without fear.
We must become more competitive and help to improve our citizens' quality of life. We must not flinch, therefore, when it comes to taking decisions aimed at improving our citizens’ lives.
There is no doubt in my mind that one of the most effective measures will be the completion of the internal market.
We must comply with Lisbon to ensure economic coordination measures and employment and social protection policies, which will, in turn, deliver economic growth, increased competitiveness and the creation of more and better jobs, in a sustainable fashion.
Much remains to be done, both here and in our capital cities.
It is not enough merely to announce reforms and to promise more jobs.
It is not enough merely to talk among ourselves. We must achieve our targets on employment, education and training.
A new culture is needed, information must be exchanged, the effectiveness of companies and training must be maximised and a qualified workforce must be made available if we are finally to be able to uphold the social values of solidarity and social justice in Europe."@en1
