"‘GDP and beyond – Measuring progress in a changing world’ is a report that aims to assess levels of progress in the European Union through gross domestic product, which has taken on the role of a comprehensive indicator for societal and economic development. Unfortunately, however, it no longer provides a reliable basis for policy debate because it does not measure environmental sustainability or social integration. There is increasing awareness of the need for improved data and indicators to complement progress assessment criteria. For this reason, I voted for a text that tries to integrate development in the European Union with new social indicators, seeks a clearly defined measurement system that goes beyond GDP, and complements it in the context of decision making."@en1
