"Madam President, I, too, would like to welcome the Czech Presidency. During this Presidency, we will have low growth and unemployment will rise. We have a difficult economic situation. I was reading about President Klaus’s solutions last week in the
and I do not agree with them at all. He says that we must lower our ambitions with regard to environmental policy and climate policy and we must lower our ambitions with regard to social policy. That is
the wrong way to go. If Europe is to be able to compete in future, we must invest in modern environmental technology. We must invest in modern infrastructure in order for us to have a society that is sustainable in the long term, and in an active climate policy. This will provide a higher rate of growth and increased employment.
It is a similar situation with social policy. We must invest in a social policy with fair working conditions, equal treatment of workers, a good working environment and so on. This will not mean lower growth, but growth that is more sustainable in the long term.
Finally, I would like to mention family policy. The family policy that I read about in your programme is an old-fashioned family policy. Modern family policy is about the equal responsibility of men and women for children and work. You point down a completely different path in your programme."@en1
