"Mr President, I should like to offer my congratulations. Prime Minister, bearing in mind the economic and social crisis we are experiencing, employment should be a priority for our institutions.
There are 23 million companies in the European Union and 23 million people who are unemployed. Of course, when it is presented like this, the equation can certainly not be proven, but it shows that we must work together to give our citizens a taste for business, a taste for entrepreneurship.
In this regard, I should like to welcome the European Commission’s proposal on social entrepreneurship. This is a sector which will eventually represent a turnover of EUR 100 billion within the European Union, and account for 3% to 7.5% of the EU workforce. This proposal, Mr Barroso, is ambitious and timely, and I should hope that, together, Prime Minister, we can manage to adopt it in plenary during your Presidency. It is our wish and I know that it is yours."@en1
