lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it would be unfair to deny that this Council has resulted in some progress, but it is also correct to say that it has not been immense and has been slow to materialise, meaning that, although we are moving forward, if we fail to do so at an adequate pace, we will fall further behind on the objectives we are pursuing. In my opinion, it has not been an especially successful summit, and this is because of the following: the repetition that sees some decisions taken and then taken again, the slowness with which some measures are put into practice and their vagueness once they are, and, finally, the failure to achieve a balance between strict austerity and real social content. With regard to the reiteration of agreements, it must be said that, now that we are approaching almost 30 summits, it is hard to tell one from the next; we remember the summit of May 2010, because it was the ‘Austerity Summit’, and that of June 2012, because it was the ‘Growth Summit’, but while austerity has certainly materialised, we have yet to see growth to the same extent. In terms of the slowness and vagueness of the measures adopted, the European Council conclusions usually state that it is essential that the measures agreed are implemented swiftly, but, looking at the conclusions of the recent summit, it is phrases such as ‘in the coming weeks’ and ‘work is under away’ that predominate, while the only thing that really is under way since the ‘Growth Summit’ is the EUR 100 million for a political programme. As regards the lack of balance, the fact is that the Council’s work does not include a significant amount of social content or social dialogue, and there is a danger, for instance, that it will fall to the Member States to find solutions for the problems arising from poverty. We need a European response to help Europe’s poor. It is the only way to lend the European Union legitimacy."@en1
