lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, following the conclusions of the Lisbon Council, the various reports voted upon here in Parliament dealing with employment have consistently highlighted the need to strike a balance between quantitative and qualitative development of employment, or between economic development and social development. The strategy implemented has made genuine progress possible, and, as has been stated, Commissioner, we fully support the proposals regarding the way in which you plan to follow up this work. Today, however, in a difficult context, a context of waves of company restructuring and mass redundancies that are increasing instability on the job market, the European Parliament must once again send out a strong, clear signal. Mr Mann’s own-initiative report, however, takes the opposite view to the message we should be sending, presenting to us an exclusively liberal creed, and the work carried out by the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs in order to balance the text is in danger of being completely nullified by the amendments reintroduced in plenary. Mr Mann, what we need today is not just increased flexibility: we also need a policy that is both durable and flexible. We do not want second-class jobs or deskilled casual work, as you are proposing. We must focus on training and qualifications, and support the most vulnerable categories, which are women, young people and the elderly. Nor do we want a policy that insists on seeing fiscal pressure as the cause of all evils in this matter. Nor do we want deregulation, uncontrolled opening up of the service trade markets, sacrificing all the social acquis on the altar of free competition. If the report were to be amended in the way you are proposing in plenary, we would have to oppose it. I shall end, Mr President, by saying that, in promoting employment strategy and social policy in the European Union, which is the title of the report, we cannot overlook the principles of solidarity and social cohesion, which are guarantees of the prosperity of our economies."@en1
