"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate the rapporteur on the result achieved in conciliation and I would like to thank the Commission for its contribution to the achievement of this agreement and for its support. The measures included in the decision we are discussing today are important funding instruments for achieving the strategic objective set at the Lisbon Summit, and the decision will, indeed, serve to increase cooperation between the Member States on labour market policies. The gamble of implementing the European employment strategy through open coordination in recent years has started to pay off. It is important to note, however – and we too see evidence of this every day – that there is a huge information gap between citizens regarding the existence of this strategy, its objectives and the procedures for implementing it. That is why the European Parliament persisted in calling for all the information measures aimed at raising public awareness, particularly the awareness of those who can benefit from this strategy, to be implemented and therefore to be set forth in this decision. A further point on which the European Parliament has insisted – and rightly so – is the involvement, association and participation of the local and regional levels in implementing the employment strategy. We know how important the role of the local and regional authorities is in promoting employment and high-quality employment, particularly for those people for whom it is most difficult to penetrate or re-enter the world of work – women, young people, people with disabilities, older workers – for they can involve all the social operators present on the territory and create favourable conditions for employment. To this end, I feel it is absolutely essential to introduce activities relating to awareness-building, best practice, cooperation and exchange of experiences. The partnership, which has already been used to implement other initiatives and has proved to be an extraordinary, effective involvement tool, must become a traditional, standard method of working in the field of employment too."@en1
