ECONOMIC POLICY:

- Raise monthly minimum wage to 1,500 euros (1,000 pounds) over five years; 5 pct increase in small pensions at or below minimum wage.

- Abolish government's CNE labour law, which makes it easier for small firms to hire and fire workers.

- Review 35-hour work week with aim of "reducing negative consequences for workers and employees".

- Aim for annual economic growth of 2.5 percent from 2008; Cut public debt to 60 percent of gross domestic product by 2012 from some 64 percent in 2006.
