Hr. formand, arbejdsløsheden udgør et sådant spild for landene i Europa, og regeringernes manøvreringsfrihed synes så lille i en kontekst præget af frihandelspolitik, defensiv utålmodighed blandt de forskellige faglige og sociale grupper og for visse af os en overvurdering af valutaen, at man uundgåeligt ender med at overveje uortodokse løsninger, som man tidligere ville have afvist ved brug af almindelig sund fornuft.
Mr President, unemployment represents so much wastage for the countries of Europe, and governments' room for manoeuvre seems so limited against a background of free trade, the defensive shrinkage of the various socio-professional categories and, for some of us, over-valuation of the currency that, fatally, people are beginning to look to unorthodox solutions which had previously been discarded unconsidered.
