"President-in-Office, I respect your European engagement, your commitment, focus and ambitions.
Within my one-and-a-half minutes, I shall focus on one message to you, which is that for Europe to move forward we need to regain confidence and trust among ordinary people, those without jobs and those hard-working families all over Europe who have hopes. Therefore my appeal today is that following this speech, with its great vision and great ambitions, we must make that become reality.
Just one month ago at my Congress of the European Social Democratic Parties, we gave you an idea for a roadmap for a better social Europe, because we need better, not less, social policies. We are proposing to you a roadmap for reviewing and modernising our social model and making it more dynamic. We call it ‘The New Social Europe’. It is about ensuring the continuation of our welfare states in the global economy; it is about ensuring that the market is the servant and not the master of people.
You talked wisely about talent, technology and tolerance. I want to add just one thing: yes, yes, yes, but for all and in a coherent society and based on the concept of freedom, which is also – as you know and have underlined on other occasions – that you are not free if you do not have a job, you are not free if you do not feel secure, and you are not free if you cannot see your future.
I know that your fight with other governments will be hard. Let me give you just one commitment from our side: when you fight with the Polish, with all your colleagues in the European Council, I think that we in the European Parliament have a duty to support you to make progress on that roadmap by telling our governments that it is not only about thinking about their own states but also about the Community."@en1
