Der bør ikke herske nogen tvivl om, at europæiske initiativer inden for arbejdsmarkedet, socialsikringen og beskatning kun kan lykkes, hvis der findes egnede løsninger på dette problem. Spørgsmålet er således af lige stor interesse for arbejdsgivere, arbejdstagere og det øvrige samfund.
What we must understand is that the future success of European initiatives in the employment, insurance and tax sectors depends on the way in which this issue is resolved; in other words, this issue is of equal importance to employers, workers and the rest of society.
