"Mr President, Commissioner, the EU can and must play a role in stimulating competitiveness, and the competitiveness of an economy is not based solely on wage costs. We all agree on that. A trained workforce that lives and works in a society that offers social protection and in a state where the private and public sectors invest in research, with highly advanced communication and transport infrastructures, is a workforce that will make the Union more competitive.
For months, we have been calling for more sensible management of the crisis focusing primarily on budget cuts and investment to promote growth, employment and social inclusion. However, the texts on economic governance continue to threaten the wage indexation systems that help to maintain domestic consumption and collective agreements.
Unacceptable declarations against the European social model are being made at the highest level. Do you not think that all of these ideas, particularly with regard to some social protection and the budgets of the Member States and the Union, the added value and lever effect of which are undeniable, are, in reality, obstacles to the competitiveness that we so desire?"@en1
