Mr. Pádraig Dalton:

If we are speaking about the broader conversation, the message to take from here today is we need to change the narrative and broaden the discussion beyond GDP and GNP. This is not something that can be achieved solely in the statistical world. It is very important this conversation is broadened to the policy side and the legislator side, particularly at European level, to support the Commission, the IMF and the UN in their work in trying to broaden the discussion on globalisation. This is perhaps where the most support can be given.
