5 Amendments of Philip CLAEYS related to 2011/0436(COD)
Amendment 26 #
Recital 3
(3) While in many people’s opinion there is objectively a clear added value of being an Union citizen with established rights, the Union does not always highlight the link between the solution of a broad range of economic and social problems and the Union's policies in an effective way. Hence, the in many people’s opinion impressive achievements in terms of peace and stability in Europe, long-term sustainable growth, stable prices, an efficient protection of consumers and the environment and the promotion of fundamental rights, have not always led to a strong feeling of belonging of citizens to the Union. Many other people, on the other hand, consider that there are also major disadvantages attached to the Union, such as the instability caused by the euro crisis, the elimination of internal borders by Schengen and the resultant rising crime rate and the dislocation of such industries as transport and construction in Western Europe. The programme should ensure that these objections are taken into account in a balanced manner, so as to avoid giving the impression that it is purely a propaganda programme.
