lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I completely agree with the rapporteur, Mrs Torres Marques, and with Mr De Clercq that, despite the crisis at international level and its repercussions on Europe, the tourism sector is the most promising of all sectors when it comes to creating new jobs. The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs believes that we need to use this advantage every way we can, at both European and national level. To start with, the Member States should include specific commitments on employment in the tourist industry in their national employment action plans. These actions should basically concentrate on vocational training, improving working conditions and applying policies to protect workers in seasonal, temporary and insecure jobs. If these policies are to be effective, however, they need to be based on a proper study of the market and its present and future requirements. There is already a lack of manpower in certain professions in the tourist industry, which is why our committee is calling on the European Commission to draft a study into the requirements of the market in collaboration with the Member States and within the context of a tourism policy at national and regional level. It is also calling on the European Commission, in cooperation with Cedefop, to propose control standards for personnel training and to generate the required synergy between learning and professional experience. If full use is to be made of the potential of tourism, these policies all need to be accompanied by support for manpower mobility at both national and European level. Tourism is a sector which is admirably suited to this sort of mobility policy. We also believe that we should make use of the potential for job creation and should strengthen employment among women, starting with various measures to help reconcile family life and work in the tourist industry and encourage entrepreneurship among women. Our committee also stresses the need to emphasise social tourism and calls on the European Commission to produce a communication on the various forms of social tourism and its importance in developing a European conscience among our European citizens and reviving the regions of Europe."@en1
