lpv:translated text	"I agree that the new European Union strategy for economic growth and job creation adopted last week at the meeting of the European Council will help Europe recover after the crisis and become stronger at EU and international level, by increasing competitiveness, productivity and social cohesion. However, it is most regrettable that people with disabilities, who today make up more than 12% of the EU’s population, have been forgotten in this new strategy. The Council continues to call for greater attention to be paid to the inclusion of disabled people when questions related to disability are being decided, but the Europe 2020 strategy does not define specific tasks, objectives and commitments that really would be able to improve the lives of more than 65 million disabled Europeans. I would like to draw attention to the fact that in the new strategy, the European Council has finally agreed on the EU’s fundamental objectives and on the quantification of education, social inclusion and poverty indicators. Thus, following lengthy discussions and the adoption of the European strategy for the coming decade, we will move to the stage of its implementation, which should be even more difficult than its approval. Now, the Member States must take action to implement the political priorities laid down in the strategy at national level, because otherwise, the new strategy will again simply be a collection of fine slogans. I would like to stress that the Commission and the Council must maintain a dialogue with the Member States so that national decisions match the EU’s fundamental goals, because only then will the strategy yield concrete results."@en1
