The EP has already underlined in 2006 BEPG Resolution that Europeans should be worried by the fact that the euro zone growth rate is permanently lower than the world growth (5.1% in 2006 and 4.9% en 2007 according to IMF), lower that the US growth (3.4% 2006 and 2.9% in 2007) and much lower than emerging countries that are threatening our position in the international markets, specially China (10% in 2006 and 2007).

1. Expresses its concern about, first, the persistently slow growth in Europe since 2002, accelerating, in the euro zone, only gradually from 0,6% in 2003 to 1,3% in 2005, in contrast with the US growth rate of 3,5% in 2005 and the rebound of Japan's economy driven by private final domestic demand; second, the persistently high unemployment of 9% in EU-25 and 8,1% in EU-15; and, third, about the output gap, currently at -1% of GDP, demonstrating that EU economic growth remains substantially below long-term potential, constrained by structural rigidities, weak internal demand, and a lack of proper balance in the macroeconomic policy mix ...[+++]; stresses that the European economy's potential for growth remains excessively low, at about 2%, which is much lower than that registered elsewhere in the world; considers that this potential for growth is insufficient for job creation and reducing unemployment rates or for the development of EU-25;

In those regions lagging behind, improving employment performance will be largely dependent on how well they will be able to maximise their potential labour resources and also in their ability to attract new human capital. In the low employment growth regions, the working age population contracted at about 0.2% a year over 1996-2000, whereas in the high growth regions the population increased at an annual rate of 0.5%. These dynamics are also reflected in an increase in the average skills which has been more rapid for those regions where employment and population growth have been comparatively higher. In 2000, more than half of the worki ...[+++]ng-age population in the low employment regions are low-skilled, compared to less than a quarter in the high employment regions.
