lpv:translated text	"Mr President, unlike the rapporteur, who spoke earlier, I believe that the European employment strategy has played a major part in combating unemployment thus far and that it has had a positive effect on national labour market policies – not in all the Member States, of course, but certainly in some. Then, because of the ambitious goals we set ourselves, the Lisbon Summit was a decisive step, with the goals being updated each year by specific indicators, just as the Commission’s assessment of the national plans and the respective recommendations are a point of reference and an incentive to follow the example of those countries which are more successful than others in obtaining positive results by means of a proactive policy involving the social partners at all levels. Each year, the European Parliament has consistently succeeded in its resolutions in finding the right balance between flexibility and security and putting economic policy, employment policy and social policy on an equal footing. Now, in the face of the new generation of guidelines proposed by the Commission, which seek, as has been said, to achieve three objectives – to bring the employment rate further into line with the Lisbon objectives, to improve the quality of jobs and to promote a labour market which is open to socially vulnerable groups – it is a little surprising that the rapporteur proposed in committee and is proposing once again in the form of amendments in the House a series of instruments – reducing taxation across the board, recourse to what is known as ‘minor work’, the introduction of excessive flexibility – which are incompatible with improving job quality, investment in human resources or effective reconciliation of family and professional life which is not detrimental in terms of security. I feel that these instruments serve the purposes of the ideological debates taking place in some of the Member States – Italy, for example – rather than stimulating and coordinating the Union. This line was partially adjusted in committee and the result is more balanced, and that is why, as has been said, we do not support the amendments. I would like to end with a comment. Mrs Bastos rightly upheld the paragraph of the resolution which calls for greater cooperation between universities and research centres. It is a shame that her group has tabled an amendment seeking to replace cooperation with competition."@en1
