Nearly half the population, more than 100 million, exist in conditions of extreme poverty and social marginalisation. We have 71 million illiterate people in Latin America, and 7 million children under 10 years old who cannot find education - and this is in the age of the Internet. You cannot preserve peace and safeguard freedom and peace when you have no social justice. You represent the European people and you know all too well, from similar situations you have lived through in the past, what the consequences can be. You know the price that has to be paid by peoples when it comes to finding their way back to the road to peace, justice and freedom.
Protectionism is another important issue.
There is no doubt that there are risks. Social clauses and other regulatory measures can be used in a restrictive fashion in order to implement protectionism. We must make an effort to be honest. When there is a political will to do something about the social issue, and if people accept that the social dimension underpins economics, then the right measures will be found. The right machinery will be found in order to make sure that the social issue is addressed.
