Many of the problems that the Spanish government has to tackle
are also European problems,
in particular youth unemployment.
This issue will be a very important topic in the presentation
I will do at the European Council this afternoon.
Therefore, I will propose at the European Council the creation of a task force.
The European Commission, the national authorities
and social delegates will be part of it.
The Spanish economic policy will be based on 4 main pillars.
We think that keeping the sovereign debt under control
is key to foster growth and job creation.
Also, we need structural reforms to generate competitiveness in our economy.
In February, we will also propose the draft legislation
of the labour market in Spain.
We reached and agreement between the trade unions and the government
to increase wages 0.5%, 0.6% and 0.6% for 2012, 2013 and 2014.
