lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution on GDP and other indicators aimed at measuring progress and the general development of society. GDP is an indicator of economic market activity that has become a standard benchmark used by policy makers throughout the world. However, this indicator is not holistic. It does not reflect environmental sustainability, resource efficiency, social inclusion or social progress. Moreover, in certain cases, GDP may provide inaccurate and misleading information. Consequently, we must make every effort to develop additional medium and long-term indicators for measuring the factors mentioned and the household level. I welcome the proposal that when measuring quality of life for society, much attention should be paid to health, education, culture, employment, housing and other similar factors, relating to the core areas of quality of life. Thus, we must find means of developing an appropriate and effective tool to complement GDP, which could be applied in a practical way, using clearly defined indicators and relying on high-quality data."@en1
