"Mr President, on behalf of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, I too should like to thank Mr Färm and Mr Stenmarck for their work and willingness to cooperate. We are particularly delighted that Mr Färm has supported the committee’s conclusions. Those of us in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs are somewhat concerned to see the 2002 budget for our area down by 10% on that for 2001. We believe that the decisions taken in Lisbon with a view to creating the world’s most competitive and dynamic economy by 2010, together with what will happen in this sphere in Barcelona at the end of the week, show that this is a high-priority area, and this must be reflected in the budget for 2003. We have noted that the Commission has this year attached importance to improving health and safety in the workplace, and we should like to see this too reflected in the budget for 2003. With regard to enlargement, it is important for us also to create funds for developing the social dialogue, or cooperation between the two sides of industry, in the candidate countries. This too is a high-priority area for the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. I should particularly like to say something about the agencies. We have four agencies, whose work we follow closely in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, and we think it important to remember that the agencies are different and should be treated differently. They have different needs in terms of budgets. Enlargement will also be of significance to how they develop, and the agencies’ tasks will change. That is something which needs to be considered carefully when we look at the budget for 2003. It is important that the agencies should be treated individually and not all lumped together. Moreover, we shall call upon other committees to cooperate more closely on how we are to look at the budgets for the agencies. Finally, it is our view that we should attach importance to how the individual budget items are used, and there are some areas in which the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs will monitor carefully whether the Commission is seeing that matters are implemented."@en1
