lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like to thank the Commission, my fellow MEPs and the rapporteurs for this policy document. It is important for us to try to attain the Lisbon goals and for this purpose, we must certainly develop the area of employment and training. I therefore welcome this proposal. We must learn from the past, for without the past, there is no future. In order to achieve the goals agreed in Lisbon, however, we will also need to consider better labour mobility, and I particularly have the border regions in mind. We need more harmonisation and more cooperation in the tripartite system of government, industry and knowledge institutes, mainly in order to stimulate working across borders. This is why I have tabled an amendment to promote this. Fortunately, the Committee on Budgets has already adopted an amendment to this effect and I hope that the same can be done in this Chamber. At the moment, the transnational labour and knowledge potential that is available is still very much under-utilised, and this must improve. Furthermore, we should in future consider the mutual recognition of professional qualifications and diplomas, something that we are, in fact, already addressing to a large extent. Eventually, however, the cross-border harmonisation of social security systems, social policy and even tax policy will also need to improve. I assume that the Council will deal with this and will be tabling proposals in due course, particularly with a view to promoting this mobility and the exchange of knowledge across the borders, for as we know, there are very few Europeans who move from one region to another, particularly to look for employment. Unlike Mr Pronk, I should like to point to the Americans, who have no difficulty whatsoever in looking for another job within a one thousand kilometre radius. As for his comment on take-over bids, I should like to note that in my view, European enterprises are better able to run as a result, and if they run better within the internal market, this will eventually lead to better investments and thus to more employment. As you see, Mr President, it is possible for us to have different views."@en1
