"In all of these strategies and frameworks, we must bear in mind the fundamental fact that Europe is not a project to construct an open-air museum. It is not a communist utopia where everyone works and everyone gets what they want. The European Social Fund is not a tool for implementing such ideas. It is a tool for assisting development but, first and foremost, it provides assistance to those who cannot help themselves.
If people are struggling with employment, housing, food or health, we must help them – that is what solidarity means. It does not mean artificially created jobs which deform the labour market, and it does not mean the levelling out of social and regional differences, which smacks of egalitarianism. Unless we want to share the fate of Prince Potemkin, we should avoid using the word ‘social’ more often than the word ‘responsible’. The global financial crisis is a warning for us against the unrealistic and the irresponsible."@en1
