".
We Swedish Social Democrats support the proposal for the employment strategy. It is important for the European Parliament to give its support to this strategy.
The proposal contains many positive features. For example, the aspects relating to equality are emphasised, improvements demanded for disabled people in the labour market and full employment declared to be an overarching objective.
A proposal by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats is based on the view that a general reduction in taxes is beneficial to employment. We do not share this view. The facts show that there is no connection between tax levels and employment.
We choose, however, not to vote against this proposal, but to abstain. The reason is that if the PPE-DE Group does not get this proposal through, that group will vote against the whole report. If the whole report were to fall by the wayside, that would be far more serious than this individual proposal going through.
That is why we are abstaining on this point."@en1
