lpv:spoken text	". – The European Union as a political and economic entity is growing from strength to strength. However, economic achievement is not the sole criteria to judge European Union legislators. It is incumbent on all of us to ensure that key social problems within our community are solved and tackled head-on. In this regard, I welcome the acceptance by the European Commission of the Irish Government’s Human Resources Operational Programme for the seven-year period 2000-2006. This is a very fair and balanced social programme and is one of the very central planks of the Irish Government’s National Development Plan for the seven-year period post-1999. It will ensure that opportunities will be given to those who are unskilled and uneducated. Particular emphasis will be placed on putting in place schemes to help the long-term unemployed as well as to help those who are early school leavers. There is also a recognition in this plan, which is reflected in the EU Social Policy Agenda 2000-2005, of the need to ensure that re-training opportunities are given to people in the existing workforce. The EU Social Policy Agenda recognises that re-training opportunities must be given in the field of technology and Internet activities for the existing workforce. Technology is changing so rapidly that if the European Union is to keep a competitive edge then our European Union workforce must be equipped with the necessary computer skills. Adaptability of the workforce and the encouragement of entrepreneur skills are also central planks of the Irish Government’s plans for the next seven years. For this policy to be a success at home and for it to succeed within the broader European Union context then it is an imperative that second-level and third-level institutions put in place policies to implement entrepreneurship in Europe."@en1
