lpv:translated text	"I voted for the report on GDP and beyond – Measuring progress in a changing world, by Mrs Rosbach, because I believe that gross domestic product is no longer a sufficient, appropriate indicator for measuring progress in a changing world, and it is therefore necessary to develop more comprehensive indicators that would provide a more reliable knowledge base. It should be remembered that GDP is a measure of production and does not measure environmental sustainability for example. It is necessary to develop other indicators that will help explain which factors influence the living standards in a country. I am therefore in favour of the creation of additional indicators for measuring medium- and long-term social and economic progress, for example, indicators that take account of climate change, biodiversity, resource efficiency and social inclusion. The development of these new indicators will help to understand and measure the quality of life in societies. Therefore, the development of a Member State or region cannot be assessed solely by an economic indicator such as GDP: quality of life, which is determined by factors such as health, education, culture, employment, housing and climate and environmental conditions, must also be taken into account."@en1
