"As the Stieglitz Committee demonstrated in France in 2008–2009, we need to think of new development indicators to add to GDP. Hitherto a key reference, despite leading to possible errors of appreciation (for instance, the rebuilding that follows natural disasters is recorded as economic progress), GDP on its own will no longer do. I voted for Mrs Rosbach’s report since it calls on the Commission to continue its research in this area by challenging the reluctance of the Conservatives who believe that only GDP is reliable and the illusions of a section of the left who would like us to measure precisely ... happiness! The Commission’s work will have to be closely monitored because it could lead to an important development: a new, more appropriate method of calculating how European funding is allocated to the regions (regional policy). Until now, funding has been granted on the basis of GDP per person in the regions concerned."@en1
