"Mr President, Prime Minister, we worked very well with your ministers, Joëlle Milquet and Laurette Onkelinx, so that the voice of the European Parliament could be heard when the employment guidelines were adopted by the Council, where our positions were taken into account, but also on the issue of public services, with the role that these services play at the heart of the European social model being reaffirmed during your Presidency. I hope that the impetus given to the interinstitutional dialogue can continue both in the work of the Commission and in the work of the new Presidency.
There is also another aspect that we worked on extensively together, which is how to ensure that the economic governance to which you referred can stand on its own two feet, because, if it treats the issue of employment as a balance, it is leading us into disaster. And it worries me to see the way in which the Commission, in the European Semester package, deals with this matter by proposing to Member States that they reduce salaries willy-nilly or increase, virtually blindly, the retirement age and lower the level of pensions. This is not the spirit in which economic governance can ensure the success of the European question, which is what our employees and our citizens are expecting."@en1
