Vi har med hensyn til den sociale sikkerhed alt for længe bevæget os på et ofte frustrerende niveau af minimumssikkerhed og minimumsretningslinjer, hvilket ofte har været meget vanskeligt at forsvare, især i de lande, der har et rimeligt veludviklet system.
With social protection, we have concentrated far too long on often demoralising minimum levels of protection and minimum directives, which were often extremely difficult to justify in countries which already had quite well-developed systems.
