"I voted for this report because I believe that it is only by using proper instruments that we can have a realistic view of the situation, and therefore do our best to change it if necessary. Gross domestic product, or GDP, is an instrument designed to indicate the aggregated added value of all money-based economic activities. It is easy to see how a wealth indicator based on dated parameters is anachronistic now, in 2011.
I believe we should introduce new indicators for measuring GDP, such as environmental sustainability and social inclusion, so that all the information making up GDP provides a truer picture of the country or region to which it refers. Adapting to the times means taking into consideration all the important variables, without falling into the trap of creating an excessively artificial system, which would be difficult to apply. I believe that, with clearly defined indicators, the work can be carried out in the best possible way."@en1
