"The main objective of the Europe 2020 strategy we are discussing should be to ensure economic growth in the European Union and to increase employment. The measures we take should aim to increase economic activity and, in this way, to achieve sustained economic growth in the long term. The indicators proposed by the Commission should be supplemented with an indicator of infrastructure saturation in the areas of teleinformatics, transport, energy, environment and social matters. A well-developed infrastructure is the basis for the efficient functioning of the internal market which, consequently, leads to a growth in internal demand and economic activity. In addition, a well-developed infrastructure is necessary to reduce differences in development between regions, leading to higher competitiveness and stronger economic, social and territorial cohesion. Furthermore, I would like to refer to the employment indicator, which should be treated as a priority. The steps we take should concentrate not only on structural reforms, but also on better preparation and use of the EU’s workforce and intellectual capital. I suppose none of us is in any doubt that, along with implementation of the EU 2020 strategy, we will need stronger leadership and greater political responsibility from Member States, and also the European Commission, in the area of undertaking structural reforms. In this context, it would be helpful to make a thorough evaluation of the EU 2020 strategy around five years after its introduction, in other words, at the end of the mandate of the current European Commission. This would allow political responsibility to be strengthened and actions to be correlated with results."@en1
