"There is no doubt that the European social model needs to be reformed. Especially, that the outdated welfare system still dominates in many of the larger Member States. Any talk of a European social model seems like a step in the wrong direction.
No social agenda or social policy document published by the Commission is likely to promote real economic growth or job creation. With the US economic crisis swiftly appearing on the shores of our continent, our governments should react to make sure that our citizens feel as little of the negative impact of a recession as possible. EU bureaucracy will not stop an economic crisis or a recession. Member States should focus on liberalising their economies, lowering taxes and interest rates, and cutting red tape especially for small-businesses.
Centralised intervention in the economy has always failed. The top-down measures proposed by the Commission might not only not help our citizens fend off unemployment but may actually hinder employment and economic growth."@en1
