"One good point of the report voted on today is that it brings back the debate in the EU about growth. As we well know, the last two years have been characterised by the economic and financial crisis, which has been the main theme of all policy discourse. The Member States’ aim for a long time was to stem the bleeding caused by the crisis and, through the agreement reached in late 2011, we finally arrived at a shared European response to correcting the public accounts. However, all this will not be sufficient to get the economy going again. In my opinion, we need to take measures that will allow small and medium-sized enterprises to access European funding, that redefine the labour market by increasing workers’ flexibility and mobility, and that incentivise businesses to retain their current levels of employment.
That is why the report voted on today represents a major step forward for the European Union. It prioritises growth-friendly policies, which will be achieved through measures in the education, research, innovation, infrastructure and energy sectors, where the EU can no longer let itself lag behind the rest of the world in terms of competitiveness."@en1
