lpv:translated text	"I voted for this report entitled ‘GDP and beyond – Measuring progress in a changing world’. As the report rightly says, gross domestic product (GDP), which is used by political decision makers worldwide and referred to in public debates, has also come to take on the role of a comprehensive indicator for overall societal development and progress in general. However, it does not provide a reliable basis for policy debate on every issue. For example, GDP does not measure environmental sustainability or social integration. In the Commission communication on ‘GDP and beyond – measuring progress in a changing world’, various measures are suggested as suitable ways to complement GDP. In particular, it focuses on developing more comprehensive indicators that would provide a more reliable knowledge base. I would express my support for the Commission’s intention to adopt a clearly defined measuring system that would go beyond GDP, in the sense that it complements GDP in the context of decision making and assessment, using clearly defined and quantifiable indicators."@en1
