Som formand for Observatoriet for Lissabonstrategien er det mit mål at oprette en platform til udveksling af synspunkter og erfaringer mellem EU-institutionerne og civilsamfundet om Lissabonreformerne, således at alle aktive medspillere kan tage et medansvar for de aalan-cerede reformer, der er nødvendige for at kunne føre Europa ind i et velstående 21. århundrede med plads til alle.
My objective as President of the LSO is to make it the main platform for the exchange of views and experiences on the Lisbon reforms between the EU institutions and civil society at large, so that all active players can take ownership of the balanced reforms necessary to lead Europe into a prosperous and inclusive 21st century.

Nye forslag til mindskelse af fattigdommen i Afrika— interview med Gerard Dantin der overskrien »Iværksætterkultur med et menneskeligt ansigt«.
New proposals to reduce poverty in Africa — interview with Gerard Dantin
Seks forskellige workshopper behandlede emner som bl.a. den europæiske sociale model, virksomhedernes sociale ansvar og bæredygtighed. Konferencen var tilrettelagt således, at der blev fokuseret på behovet for at formidle, at iværksættervirksomhed ikke kun er af økonomisk interesse, men også har en social dimension.
Six different workshops covered topics like the European social model, corporate social responsibility or sustainability, among others. e proceedings of the conference focused on the need to present entrepreneurship as a social, and not purely economic, factor.
Det får kun eekt, hvis både samfundet og det politiske system gør deres del af arbejdet.
If this is to be done effectively, both society and the political system must play their part.
Det blev især bemærket, at der er et presserende behov for
Particular mention was made of the urgent need to develop entrepreneurial training at all levels of education.
Det er nødvendigt at øge de unges interesse for iværksættervirksomhed, så flere engagerer sig i iværksætteraktiviteter, der både tager hensyn til det menneskelige og det miljømæssige aspekt. Det var hovedkonklusionen på den biennale konference, som EØSU aoldt i Athen den 8.-9. september 2008 un-

New proposals to reduce poverty in Africa — interview with Gerard Dantin lion over five years) is currently devoted to agriculture.
I vores udtalelse understreger vi dette punkt kraftigt og ser bort fra »politisk korrekthed« og tomme udtalelser.
As an active member of the EESC, what do you expect from the adoption of this opinion on the EU–Africa strategy?
udvikling til et af omdrejningspunkterne i deres samarbejdspolitik med Afrika.
their cooperation policy in Africa.
Vi fremsætter en række forslag til, hvordan det kan gøres: teknologioverførsel, skatteincitamenter, gunstige lån, skattelettelser, støtte fra Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, spin-off og etablering af kuvøsevirksomheder, stimulering af iværksætterånd i forbindelse med erhvervsuddannelse.
We put forward a number of proposals for ways of doing so, including technology transfers,tax incentives, so loans, tax credits and the role of the EIB,as well as hiving off and creating business incubators and fostering entrepreneurship during vocational training.
sektor, især små og mellemstore virksomheder.
tween Europe and Africa.
Endvidere er det nødvendigt at udvikle den sociale dialog og fremme det organiserede civilsamfunds deltagelse.
In our opinion, we put strong emphasis on this point, stepping outside of ‘political correctness’ or political jargon. ere are things that need to be said and the opinion does so, particularly on the issue of corruption.
Kun på den måde kan man skabe den knowhow, som er drivkraen bag udviklingen.
Good governance is the key to investor confidence and without investment there can be no development.
Det betyder også, at man skal fortsætte den regionale integration, så man kan udnytte de regionale markeders potentiale.
social dialogue and strengthen the participation of organised civil society, which are the sole means of building the know-how that will provide the essential motor for development.
Og sidst, men ikke mindst, skal god regeringsførelse være alfa og omega i den måde, politikken føres på.
It will also mean continuing the process of regional integration in order to harness the potential of regional markets.And, lastly and most importantly, it will also mean making good governance the alpha and omega of the way politics is conducted.
God regeringsførelse skal ses i sin helhed og indbefatte aspekter som menneskerettigheder, arbejdstagerrettigheder, arbejdsnormer, retsstatsforhold ... og bekæmpelse af korruption.
In order to stem the rural exodus, wouldn’t it be better to train the rural population by giving them the means to be self-sufficient in food?
Burde man ikke for at dæmme op for aolkningen af landdistrikterne uddanne landbefolkningen bedre og give dem midlerne til at være selvforsynende med levnedsmidler?
Good governance must be seen in its entirety and include aspects such as human rights, workers’ rights, labour standards, the rule of law ... and action to combat corruption.
Udnyttelsen af naturressourcer er fortsat den sektor, der beskæftiger flest.
Many jobs are still concentrated in the natural resources sector.
Hvilken økonomisk omstilling er efter Deres opfattelse nødvendig for at skabe flere »anstændige« job i Afrika?
In your view, what kind of economic change is needed to create more ‘decent’ jobs in Africa?
Befolkningen skal uddannes bedre, men det væsentligste er at gøre landbruget til prioriteten over alle prioriteter, da landbrugets udvikling er grundlaget for fremskridt i resten af økonomien.
My expectation is that it will help to raise awareness of the need to change the nature of the relationship between the EU and Africa, which is still essentially structured by the past and the history of colonisation.
Landbruget er fundamentet og springbrættet for Afrikas udvikling.
We need to create an equal relationship in which African countries can take their rightful place in managing their own affairs, taking their own responsibilities and making their own decisions.
Hvert land skal have et ordentligt finansieret landbrugsudviklingsprogram på kort, mellemlang og lang sigt ...
In the opinion on the EU–Africa strategy, the EESC argues that poverty and inequality in Africa could be considerably reduced by developing employment.
Det er mildest talt overraskende, at blot 1% af Den Europæiske
What concrete measures do you propose for opening up the employment market, which is currently focused primarily on agriculture?
Vi lægger stor vægt på dette sidste punkt i vores udtalelse, da det er afgørende for Afrikas evne til at investere og skabe social samhørighed og dermed for dets fremtid som helhed.
People do indeed need to be given better training, but the main thing is to make agriculture the priority of priorities in a more general sense, since agricultural development is the basis for progress in the rest of the economy.
I udtalelsen om EU/Afrika-strategien giver EØSU udtryk for, at en forbedring af beskæftigelsen i Afrika vil kunne mindske fattigdommen og ulighederne betydeligt på dette kontinent.
We place a lot of emphasis on this last point in our opinion, because it will be decisive in determining Africa’s capacities for investment and social cohesion and therefore its future as a whole.
Med hvilke konkrete midler vil man kunne åbne arbejdsmarkedet, hvor hovedvægten i dag er lagt på landbruget?
As things currently stand, over 55 % of the population of Africa live on less than USD 1 per day.
Hvis fattigdommen og ulighederne skal begrænses, er det afgørende at oprette »anstændige job« som deneret af ILO.
Yes indeed, developing ‘decent jobs’, as defined by the ILO, is central to reducing poverty and inequality.
Denne situation skal ændres. Derfor opfordrer vi Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne til at gøre deres finansielle støtte betinget af, at den kan spores frem til slutbrugeren.
is situation needs to be changed. is is why we are calling on the Commission and the Member States to make financial aid contingent upon the traceability of aid flows to the end-user.
Det er rigtigt, at udnyttelsen af naturressourcer beskæiger mange og også er en kilde til vækst i mange lande.
Yes, the natural resources sector is the source of many jobs, as well as being the source of growth in a number of countries.
Men denne udnyttelse af naturressourcer fører til en vækst, der kun skaber få arbejdspladser, da den ikke styres og udnyttes ordentligt. Den er nemlig hovedsageligt koncentreret om afsætningen af råstoer.
However, the exploitation of natural resources leads to growth that is poor in jobs, since it is badly oriented and badly utilised, tending to be focused primarily on marketing raw materials.
Der skal ske en videreudvikling med skabelse af forarbejdningsindustrier, der producerer færdigvarer eller halvfabrikata med en høj merværdi. En sådan vækst vil skabe anstændige arbejdspladser i Afrika. Kina, Indien, Sydøstasien og frem for alt Sydkorea har alle gjort det eller er i gang med det!
It is vital to extend beyond this to industries that process the raw materials into finished or semifinished products, which produce much higher added value. is kind of growth will create decent jobs in Africa.
Så hvorfor ikke Afrika?
So why not Africa?
Vil en diversicering af beskæftigelsen i Afrika ikke betyde en opfordring til EU om at investere mere i denne region gennem oprettelse af små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV’er)?
Will diversifying jobs in Africa mean encouraging the European Union to invest more in this region of the world though the creation of SMEs?
Er der ikke behov for, at de afrikanske regeringer udviser større åbenhed i forvaltningen af deres land?
Isn’t there a need for African governments to make a stronger commitment to introduce greater transparency into the management of their countries’affairs? affairs?
Det kræver, at der sættes ind på flere områder, som vi beskriver nærmere i vores sonderende udtalelse.
is will involve using several levers that we describe in our ex- ploratory opinion.
For det første skal der skabes ligeværdige forbindelser mellem EU og de afrikanske lande, hvor sidstnævnte påtager sig deres fulde ansvar.
Firstly, it will mean building an equal relationship between the EU and the African States, in which the latter can assume full responsibility.
Det vil også kræve en omlægning af væksten for at gøre den mere jobskabende, give landbruget topprioritet og fokusere på udviklingen af den private
However, it will also entail reorienting growth towards producing more jobs, making agriculture the top priority and focusing on the development of the private sector — especially SMEs.
Det er netop kernen i problemet … Dette spørgsmål bør stå i

by the EESC, of having clear and well-established financial conditions in this sector.
Kommissæren anmodede hereer udvalget om at udarbejde en udtalelse om »Uddan-nelses- og erhvervsuddannelsesbehov i forbindelse med et kulstorit energisamfund«, eersom EU i øjeblikket mangler eksperter på dette område.
Answering to EESC critics about the slow implementation of the energy efficiency action plans by some Member States, he described the present status as a ‘learning phase’, being sure that later all of them will do more and better. e Commissioner then requested the Committee to draw up an opinion on ‘education and training needs for a carbon free energy society’, as the EU is lacking specialists in this area at the present time.
Konferencen blev åbnet af den græske premierminister, Konstantinos Karamanlis, og hovedtalerne var Viviane Reding, Meglena Kuneva, Stavros Dimas og Danuta Hübner, alle medlemmer af Europa-Kom-missionen. Hertil kom Grækenlands økonomi- og finansminister, Georgios Alogoskous, Grækenlands udviklingsminister, Christos Folias, formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Hans-Gert Pöttering, og formanden for det græske parlament, Dimitrios Sioufas.

Intervening in the debate that followed the Commissioner’s intervention, Mr Buffetaut expressed his hopes for a European ‘energy diplomacy’ to be built in the future within the Council.
En »post-fossil« energipolitik fremstilles ikke på bæredygtig vis og medfører i mange tilfælde sågar ingen nævneværdig reduktion af drivhusgasserne. De miljøkriterier, som Kommissionen foreslår, er utilstrækkelige, og social bæredygtighed omtales slet ikke i direktivforslaget.
Towards a ‘post-fossil energy policy’ current agrofuels are not produced in a sustainable manner and oen do not even yield a significant saving of greenhouse gases. e environmental criteria proposed by the Commission are insufficient, and social sustainability is not considered at all in the dra directive.
De bindende mål, der foreslås i direktivet, går ud på at øge vedvarende energis andel af det endelige energiforbrug i EU i 2020 til 20%og at opstille et mål om, at vedvarende energi skal tegne sig for mindst 10% af energiforbruget i transportsektoren (hovedsageligt biobrændstoer) i alle medlemsstater.
e binding targets proposed in the directive are: reaching a 20 % share of renewable energy sources in final energy consumption in the EU by 2020; and a 10 % binding minimum target for renewable energy in transport (mainly biofuels) to be achieved by each Member State.
EØSU støtter fuldt ud de nye, ambitiøse mål for vedvarende energikilder og mener oven i købet, at der på mellemlangt og langt sigt er brug for en langt højere andel af energi fra vedvarende kilder end de planlagte 20% inden 2020, hvis Rådets ambitiøse mål (minus 60-80%
Lutz Ribbe e EESC fully supports the new, ambitious goals for renewables and it even thinks that in the medium to long term a much higher percentage of energy from renewable sources than the 20 % envisaged for 2020 will be required if the Council’s target of 60–80 %
C O samt en højere grad af selvfor-
CO2 emission reduction and greater energy self-sufficiency is to be achieved in the longer run.
Eer EØSU’s mening er fremme af agrobrændstoer desuden den allerdyreste af klimabeskyttelsesforanstaltningerne, og der er derfor tale om en ekstrem fejltildeling af finansielle midler, idet der samtidig mangler fyldestgørende svar på en lang række miljørelaterede og sociale spørgsmål.
A more decentralised structure of distribution and production would be a big incentive for the creation of new jobs and for a more independent energy supply for the EU. Renewable energies can indeed promote regional economic structures, but only if the right choices are made among the several possible kinds of renew- able sources.
Hvis olieimport i sidste ende erstattes af biomasseimport, vil man ikke nedbringe EU’s energiforsyningsaængighed, men blot skabe en ny aængighed. i den biomasse, der skal bruges til agrobrændstoer, må forventes at blive produceret uden for EU, hvor den i sidste instans måske medfører ikke-bæredygtige ændringer i arealudnyttelsen såsom ødelæggelse af regnskove.
A wrong choice would maintain the present situation of dependency on imports and high greenhouse gas emissions. ● e EESC has drawn up an opinion on the European Commission’s proposal for a directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, prepared by rapporteur Lutz Ribbe. e opinion welcomes this ‘clear signal for energy, environmental and industrial policy’, and declares that the development of renewable energies will not only improve climate protection, but also the security of energy supply, energy self-suf-ficiency and the employment situation in the EU.

the use of wood chips for heat and power production or of pure plant oils grown and consumed regionally and without much processing, or biogas in vehicles.
Mere generelt støtter det en direkte anvendelse af biomasse uden nævneværdig industriel/kemisk omdannelse for at undgå at spilde energi, som altid optræder i omdannelsesprocessen, samt at udvikle nye, regionalt organiserede fremstillings- og distributionsalternativer.
In more general terms, it supports a direct use of the biomass, without much further industrial/chemical processing, in order to avoid the wasting of energy, always present in any transformation process, and to develop new regionally organised forms of manufacturing and distribution.
vil udgøre et kraigt incitament til skabelse af nye arbejdspladser og til en mere uaængig energiforsyning for EU. Vedvarende energikilder vil nok kunne puste nyt liv i de regionale, økonomiske strukturer, men kun hvis der foretages de rigtige valg blandt flere mulige former for vedvarende energi.
Agricultural and food prices: analysis and projections come down in the near future, but are unlikely to drop below the levels of 2005.
Et fejlagtigt valg vil føre til bevarelse af den nuværende importaængighed og høje drivhusgasemissioner.
e beginning of 2005 saw a reversal in the trend of cereal prices: for the first time, they started to be too high rather than too low, as had been the case in the previous decades.Apart from transitory factors that had brought about this new situation, such as adverse weather and low stocks, there were long-term ones: high oil prices and a newcomer on the scene, biofuel production.
Med hensyn til agrobrændstoer tager EØSU derimod klar afstand fra Kommissionens forslag og opfordrer til en gennemgribende revision af oplægget.
main directions: on the one hand, bringing a relevant reduction of volatility in market prices in order to guarantee more stability in the supply-demand system and re-establishing the lost link between agriculture, farming and food; on the other hand, placing the attention on the developing countries which they deserved in order to let them develop their internal potential for agricultural production.
EØSU beklager, at Kommissionen har valgt at lægge hovedvægten på agrobrændstoer inden for transport i stedet for på andre former for vedvarende energi såsom solenergi og vindkra.

A single market for the 21st century e aim of Multilingualism Commissioner Leonard Orban is to reverse the trend towards ‘English only’.
Det skønnes, at kornpriserne i de næste ti år vil stige med 20-30% i forhold til det foregående årti.
Nevertheless, the EESC feels the Commission does not properly address the issue: English remains the language accepted by the EU for international communication but the Committee encourages promoting languages other than English and the use of European languages in extra-Community exchanges.
Det er en meget stor stigning.
SMEs, and especially the self-em-ployed, are central to the effective operation of flexible labour markets.
En tredjedel af denne stigning vil være knyttet til produktionen af biobrændstof.
e EESC calls on all the parties involved to push forward and speed up the correct and uniform enforcement of existing legislation and standards, in order to enhance the efficiency of the single market.
I begyndelsen af 2005 vendte tendensen i kornprisernes udvikling. For første gang lå de snarere for højt end for lavt som i de foregående årtier. Den nye situation skyldtes ikke kun forbigående faktorer som dårligt vejr og små lagre, men også langsigtede faktorer som høje oliepriser og en ny brik i spillet: biobrændstofproduktion.
According to the EESC, the objective of a working knowledge of two other languages should become a priority of the Structural Funds and should be related to the European employment strategy.
Ifølge en nylig OECD-progno-se vil priserne falde i nærmeste fremtid, men det er ikke sand-
