Mr. Evert said his party's programme for government was ready, adding that its economic policy aimed at development as its prime target since the economy's main problem was structural. He said his party would have a limited number of ministers, abolish the post of deputy minister and initiate posts of permanent undersecretaries at the foreign affairs, education and finance ministries. The creation of the institution of Ombudsman, an independent commissioner, was also important, he said. Referring to relations between governments and trade unions, Mr. Evert said one listened, corrected and adjusted his views but when one took his decisions he stuck to them. A stick and carrot are necessary.
Incentives are necessary as well as sanctions.
Incentives for every form of labour relation, in every phase of the production process.
