Brussels, 28/05/2003 (Agence Europe) - A couple of days before the opening of the G8 Summit in Evian, PES President, Robin Cook, the leader of the PES Parliamentary group in the European Parliament Enrique Baron Crespo and former Danish Foreign Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen on Wednesday presented the Press with a report on the role the Socialists hope to see Europe play in the process of globalisation. Entitled "Europe and the new world order- bridging the global divisions", this report of some 150 pages, written by Mr Rasmussen, was recently presented at the Berlin Summit of Social-Democrat Prime Ministers and party leaders. It includes a detailed action plan facing up to the five major global problems: global fragmentation due to political tension, military conflict and terrorism; - creating sustainable growth; - the North-South divide; - social rights, employment rights and human rights in the world; - and lastly, governance. For each of these problems, a certain number of precise objectives have been defined, such as in matters of the fight against terrorism and organised crime, defence, management of migration, system reform of the United Nations, economy, social policy and relations between he EU and the poorest countries, the objective being to provide a coherent, long-term strategy to re-model globalisation via action at European and at world level. "Globalisation today is not the globalisation we want, we want globalisation which reflects our values of democracy and justice", said Mr Cook, whereas Mr Rasmussen, taking care to distance himself from the phenomenon's most virulent opponents, said that "we want an alternative to neo-liberalism (…) and we tell ourselves that Europe is part of the solution". Mr Cook indicated that the report presented was the first step in a process, and that the next was a conference to be held in the last weekend of November, which would be attended by not just European personalities, but also representatives of third countries, including certain "progressive" Americans. The Rasmussen report will serve as a basis for the conference's work. In the meantime, a high-level working group will be set up to expand certain parts of the text, and to prepare for the conference.
