The report on which we voted today deals with a Commission proposal to implement Community employment incentive measures (EIM).
In addition to implementing this range of measures, it is important for the Commission to take account of the statistical information, studies and actions produced by international organisations such as the OECD or the International Labour Organisation. I also consider it essential to encourage the widest possible distribution of the results of any projects completed.
Parliament has also recommended that the Commission take steps to ensure that all the planned activities are consistent and complementary to other Community programmes and initiatives. The planned activities shall, moreover, be open to the participation of EEA countries and those of Central and Eastern Europe countries subject to arrangements, especially financial arrangements, to be agreed with these countries. I would also argue in favour of our Mediterranean partners being involved.
The European Parliament awaits an interim report from the Commission on 31 December 2003 and a final report on 31 December 2006.
While we all have in mind the preparations for the extraordinary Council meeting on employment to be held in Stockholm in March, I voted wholeheartedly in favour of these new measures to promote employment.
This proposal is intended to implement the provisions of Article 129 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (the legal basis for necessary expenditure on employment) and to develop the activities highlighted by the Lisbon European Council in the context of the European Employment Strategy.
The objective is to promote cooperation between Member States and support their action in the area of employment. Such measures will be funded from the Community budget to a value of EUR 55 million for the period 2001-2005 (or EUR 10 million annually, with an initial allocation of EUR 15 million in 2001).
Measures focus chiefly on the development, programming, monitoring, follow-up and assessment of the European Employment Strategy, with a forward-looking emphasis.
More specifically, the following actions will be covered:
1) Analysis and assessment of employment trends, general policy conditions, assessment of policy options and of the impact of Community policies;
2) Assessment of national action plans;
3) Collation and transfer of national experience as defined in the annual employment guidelines issued to Member States;
4) Technical and scientific schemes required to develop common indicators, to improve and coordinate statistics, to rate performance and exchange information according to best practices."@en1
