lpv:translated text	"Mr President, according to the Commission’s own figures, 80 million EU citizens are currently living below the poverty line. That is indecent and it is also an obstacle to all other development. At the same time, a man like Mr Farage stands here in Parliament and lets fly with insults at a time when Europe is in crisis and we have a great many important matters to debate. He should be given a time-out and should not be permitted to attend next week’s session in Strasbourg. It would be a mild punishment for the behaviour he has exhibited. Our task now is to produce a new Lisbon Strategy, in other words, EU 2020. In this context, it is important to realise that social cohesion and sustainable development are essential for economic growth. The first society to get away from our dependence on fossil fuels, for example, will take the lead in the creation of new green jobs. However, we need resources if this is to succeed. At least 50% of the funding set aside by the EU and the Member States to get us out of the crisis needs to be invested in a new Green Deal capable of creating these new green jobs. The Seventh and Eighth Framework Programmes must concentrate on research and development relating to renewable energy. The Commission must also make vigorous efforts to prevent the social exclusion that is currently taking place around Europe and to strengthen the parties of the labour market. In recent years, the EU has rightly begun to be seen as a threat to the trade union movement. This needs to change. A first step would be to revise the controversial Posting of Workers Directive or, as it has come to be known in Europe, the ‘Wage Dumping Directive’, which is generating so much anger and so much conflict. We have had enough of that here today in Parliament."@en1
