A considerable deficit of the present Draft of the Integrated Guidelines is the fact that the necessity of intelligent demand policy has hardly been addressed. This should be considered in respect of the proposals on budget consolidation, on spending and on wage policy. What is also lacking is a clear commitment to restructuring the financial markets, which will exclude the creation of system-threatening speculative bubbles in future and place the financial markets within the real economy. This issue has been completely ignored in the Guidelines, as has been the necessity to commit the financial markets to contribute to the costs of dealing with the crisis.<br /><br />Distributive justice too has once again not been explicitly mentioned. From our point of view, this concerns the right of employees to fair remuneration resp. participation in generated wealth. The unequal distribution, however, must also be addressed, as it was a substantial structural factor, which leads to the financial and economic crisis.
