Da vi længe har haft gunstige, økonomiske forhold, er det på høje tid. at vi for 1996 iværksætter en plan og omfattende aktioner for at bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden og hindre, at den skaber kriser, som igen vil hindre gennemførelsen af Den Monetære Union, den fælles valuta og dermed Den Politiske Union.
Given that the economic revival has failed to materialize, it is high time, as far as 1996 is concerned, to relaunch a strong programme of action to combat unemployment, if we are to prevent it resulting in crisis situations which could bring about the failure of monetary union, the single currency and, as a result, political union.
