Selv om de noget opskruede forventninger fra Cecchini-rapporterne ikke altid er indfriet, og her sigter jeg fortrinsvis til de millioner ekstra job, der var skønnet, er investeringerne alligevel steget. Inflationen er faldet.
Even if the rather unrealistic expectations set out in the Cecchini reports have not always come to fruition, such as the millions of extra jobs, at least investment has increased, inflation has fallen, between 300 000 and 900 000 new jobs have been created, and the economies of the Member States have become closely interwoven.
