"I would like to make an exception and not talk about the Treaty of Lisbon. Rather, I would like to say on the outcome of the European Council regarding the economic, financial and social chapter that we are, in one respect, delighted to see that the signs of financial stabilisation feature in this document too. This is how we see the situation ourselves, but in the meantime, it is also clear that people’s reserves are dwindling in Europe.
Companies are finding it difficult to obtain financial assistance and bank loans, while unemployment is on the rise. This is also mentioned in this document. I think it is important to emphasise that economic growth cannot be sustainable nor can we talk about Europe emerging from the crisis stronger than it was until we can clearly guarantee that the current level of social cohesion is not only maintained but strengthened and until we can increase employment and prevent social exclusion.
The methods we have for coordinating social policy, based on an open approach, are fairly ineffective. We must improve our coordination methods. In fact, we need more effective tools. Social cohesion and the achievements of a social Europe are those factors which people consider the most important. It is our shared responsibility to highlight this fact."@en1
