"This report is a typical example of the type of debate which precludes political consensus. This is an eminently political subject where one can see the conservative right flirting with lack of job security and the forces of the left seeking to establish social convergence, stressing the link between employment, job quality and social protection. Let us accept the challenge, and let us get all the weapons on our side, the side of life and integration. For the first time the advances of Amsterdam give us the opportunity to be involved in the discussion of the guidelines in the form of Mr Menrad’s report. This is why we must insist on objectives which are expressed in definite figures, with a definite timetable. Hence the importance of the amendments resubmitted by my group, with the following requirements: 1) the combined forces of Member States and the European Union should converge towards a 65% rate of employment within the next five years; 2) preventative measures should have the objective of reducing unemployment by 50% within each Member State over the long term within the next five years; 3) positive measures should be undertaken to encourage the young unemployed to find a job and to facilitate their integration into employment; 4) the deadline of 2002 should be set for equipping schools with computers and enabling students to access the Internet. Employment cannot be assessed simply in terms of the creation of jobs. It is important, above all, to consider the quality of employment, of education and the quality of training for all. It is on this project as a whole that we shall be judged, on quantitative but also on qualitative results, on a new way of living, of life at work and life outside work, and balancing the two."@en1
