"Madam President, I know that we are pressed for time and that I should state my position on all the very practical proposals made by the honourable Members. I cannot do this, but we have taken note of everything you have said and these are very practical and very useful proposals. I shall simply give a brief explanation of the actions that are planned for the next few months.
In November, the Commission will present a communication on indicators and benchmarks, which will serve to measure the progress made in the priority areas. And so you will have this communication, which will enable a real evaluation to be made of the practical measures that are adopted. Furthermore, with regard to basic skills, seven working groups are in the process, in collaboration with the Member States, of reaching agreement on the common criteria necessary to apply the benchmarks correctly and to evaluate the measures that have been adopted. This task is almost over now and things will therefore, move ahead rapidly.
Furthermore, in the field of vocational training, the situation will develop very quickly. Clearly, to achieve progress in the field, the social partners will need to be directly involved. I wish to add that the social partners and the Member States have given a commitment to establish common principles in the field of non-formal training, a task that we are striving to see through. I should also like to state that I am as shocked as anyone at the frightening number of people in our societies who can neither read nor write. I have understood your message: you would like us jointly to undertake a major action to combat illiteracy. Together with my staff, I shall study this proposal and perhaps the Commission and Parliament could then adopt a joint initiative on this matter."@en1
