"Once again, the main priority at this European Council was, regrettably, to adopt the conditions guaranteeing the entry into force of the so-called Treaty of Lisbon by the end of 2009, in other words, to adopt positions enabling swift ratification by the Czech Republic. The main concerns of the leaders of the European Union are the institutional issues that allow for quicker progress in the capitalist, federalist and militaristic integration of the European Union. Issues concerning the economic, financial and social crisis therefore took a back seat. Indeed, the little progress that was made is a result of great pressure from important sectors in several Member States, of which the milk crisis is an example. Even here, the Council only went as far as increasing the budget for 2010 by just EUR 280 million. However, the proposals just tabled by the European Commission following on from the Council’s guidelines are very worrying, in terms of both the excess deficit and the announcement to raise the retirement age. Instead of a response to the serious social problems of poverty and unemployment, what they are proposing are measures that will exacerbate the social situation and the glaring inequalities that already exist."@en1
