lpv:translated text	"Mr President, approximately 24.8 million people in Europe are currently unemployed. Of these, as many as 5.5 million are young people, so the question arises as to whether this is the right topic for us to be debating. It is, in my opinion, because it is very much tied up with the health of the economy. The economy must have raw materials at a time when it needs them and at a price that will allow it to be competitive. At the present moment, because our continent is not exactly rich in raw materials, we need to be all the more rational about managing them. But what does rational use of raw materials mean? In my opinion, no proposal in this report which would result in us eating less, driving less, making less or increasing taxes is acceptable. The only solution is efficient use of raw materials and we need to view such efficient use as an opportunity, as an opportunity for developing new industries, starting up new businesses and creating new jobs. These proposals were made years ago and, tomorrow, the European Parliament will adopt its opinion after several months’ deliberation on this initiative. I am flagging this up because we have recently heard voices suggesting that we have only been talking about saving the economy and that we have forgotten about recovery. No, we have not; it has just been pushed to the margins of the media. At the moment, we do not need another new treaty in order to provide an impetus to the economy. People do not need it. To give an impetus to the economy, we need to start implementing the promises we have made as soon as possible. We also need to draw up a multiannual European budget in proportion to our needs and our substantive policies and priorities. Finally, sending out a message to people that a low budget is a good budget is not a good idea. It should be high enough to enable us to implement development policies. Some good measures have already been included in this report, such as implementation of legislation, the setting up of robust, clear and measurable indicators and incentives designed to promote research and technological innovation. Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, continue to move in this direction."@en1
