"The Lisbon Strategy stipulates that the EU should become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in 2010. Here we are now in 2010. The strategy’s objectives are far from achieved and the EU is facing the deepest economic crisis since 1933.
Although these objectives have not been met, they must remain a priority on the European Union’s agenda. The Spanish Presidency, in the person of Prime Minister Zapatero, has assured us that the strategy’s objectives will continue to be pursued, setting 2020 as the deadline. It is unacceptable, after this time, for us to wait another decade to achieve the anticipated results.
One of the strategy’s key points is investment in education and research. No economy in the world can develop without having an educated society. This is why I believe that the funding of education systems must be a priority for Europe. I deplore today in this Chamber this policy devoid of any vision, pursued by governments who are reducing their education budgets, because not only are they doing harm to today’s society, but they are also creating long-term problems.
I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I am also submitting a written statement which can be signed starting from the next sitting."@en1
