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;
