Derfor er jeg også enig i vurderingen af det europæiske netværk mod fattigdom og er parat til at diskutere dets forslag om f.eks. en socialpolitisk dagsorden for 2006-2010.
Rather than hearing of how political priorities have been responsibly adjusted for the sake of social, environmental and global sustainability and seeing proposals submitted for consideration by the Spring 2005 Council, we now hear that, firstly, Europe is to be made more competitive, labour markets to be made more dynamic, and that the social security systems are to be adapted to meet the challenges presented by the need for competitiveness and by population change.
