"The Slovenian Presidency’s programme meets all the requirements of one who is interested in economics and is convinced that being in good economic shape is one of the keys to the success of the Union. In the Presidency’s programme I have found many important references to the Lisbon Strategy and to the role of the internal market in the process of strengthening the EU in the international arena. The 21st century Union should concentrate on education and training. A well-educated society has huge potential, and this in turn must find an application in the economy, which is chiefly based on flourishing small and medium-sized businesses that are easy to set up, without unnecessary formalities and expense. These companies must have access to well-trained employees and to research resources, new technologies and so on. The Presidency is devoting much attention to this. The Presidency’s declaration that it will get involved in eliminating barriers and will concentrate on better regulation sends businesses an important signal. One thing we know is that there is nothing worse than bad legislation. It seems to me to be particularly important to link the initiative of removing administrative barriers for businesses with the opening up of new paths to new technologies. The Presidency will also keep consumers in mind; the interests of consumers are just as important as those of business, and should be represented and protected in the same way. The Presidency’s programme is very ambitious, but it also sets out its priorities clearly, and I agree with those priorities. It only remains for me to convey my congratulations and wish you every success."@en1
