Mr President, Council, Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the consequence of developing globalisation is that more and more countries become democratic and switch on to free global trade. As such, it shows the success of Europe’s half-century policy of peace and democracy. On the other hand, the fact that some countries sometimes gain an advantage in international trade by using illegal instruments is a sign that the switch-over to constitutionality is gradual and is not perfect immediately. It is for precisely this reason that Europe’s goal should continue to be the promotion and reinforcement of democracy.
How successful we will be in the global competition arising from this depends on us. As the author of the Parliament’s report on globalisation, I know that we have recognised the challenges, and it is time for action.
We must think about the fact that the prosperity we have today should remain for our grandchildren, and in such a way that in the meantime the other peoples of the world should develop in this way. Will they have energy? Will they have an inhabitable environment? This is what the European energy policy and the building of a ‘low-carbon’ economy are about.
We must ensure that every person in Europe, irrespective of their origin and situation, and every business, irrespective of their size and registered office, can develop all their talents and their best abilities. This is what equal opportunities, the building of a knowledge-based society, innovation policy and the new European SME policy are about.
We must switch over to the digital age, for which we must implement e-inclusion in all areas and for everyone.
In short, we have all the tools ready; we just have to do it. Let us get to work!"@en1
