38.  Internal devaluation has led to a wage reduction and worsening income distribution. Internal demand has been strongly depressed.  In spite of efforts, Public deficit and debt still being far away from Stability Pact target.  Deleveraging of economy is being too slow due to the low inflation.  International competitiveness gain is almost purely cyclical.  Decrease of household disponsable income, and higher inequality of income, led to an increase of poverty and social exclusion.

39.  Due to those reasons, foundations for long- term growth are weak: ◦ Financial impediments for a higher level of investment. ◦ Lack of investment in R+D ◦ Long term unemployment to become structural. ◦ “Lost generation” of young people ◦ Weak social cohesion and political mistrust.

40.  Conditions to increase growth and social development: ◦ ECB should act more agressively in order to tackle low inflation, euro appreciation and debt burden: QE. ◦ Growth friendly tax reform. ◦ Public expenditure to be focused on child poverty. ◦ Increase the quantity and effectiveness of R+D investment. Reform of universities. ◦ Bold policies towards qualification of not-qualified workers and unemployed. ◦ Bring people back to the employment as soon as possible. Specially those in long term unemployment.
