I fully support proposals to encourage an employment strategy across the European Union. We can only fight the scourge of unemployment if we work together right across the 15 Member States.
Jobs, jobs, jobs. That is what it is all about. That is what the Labour Government is campaigning for and that is what Europe is working for. It is our top priority and we must move heaven and earth to make it happen.
The goals set at the Lisbon Summit last year were a crucial step forward in establishing the right conditions to achieve full employment, whereby the Heads of State and Government set the EU the objective of becoming the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-driven economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth accompanied by quantitative and qualitative improvement of employment and of greater social cohesion.
The forthcoming Stockholm Council in March will continue to develop the European agenda for a flexible economy, liberalisation of gas and electricity markets, postal liberalisation, reform of the financial services sector, proposals on telecommunications and e-commerce, measures to create a favourable environment for SMEs, and targets for employment rates to benefit all our citizens in the European Union. Cooperation throughout the Union is essential for exchanges of information and best practices, providing comparative analysis as well as promoting innovative approaches and evaluating experiences.
In Britain, our Labour Government is leading the way towards job creation and full employment. Not only has youth unemployment been halved under Labour, but the government is now introducing vocational training for our young people to benefit from new skills in a high-tech and evolving job market. The aim is to create a flexible, high-skilled workforce in Britain.
Madam President, I fully endorse this report which is yet another benchmark in our progress towards full employment in a dynamic knowledge-based economy."@en1
