lpv:spoken text	". Despite a number of reservations about some of the proposals in Mrs Figueiredo’s report on the social policy agenda, I voted in favour in the final vote as there are many issues in the social agenda which rightly need to be highlighted. The report was amended earlier in committee and several difficulties which arose at that stage of the procedure were overcome. Issues such as continuing high levels of unemployment in some of the Member States, tackling poverty, combating discrimination on grounds of disability, promoting active ageing and providing childcare facilities are all important and need to be dealt with as priorities. I voted against amendments calling for yet more directives and proposals that would hold back industry. Building a social Europe requires consensus-building between the social partners, not creating new impediments. I also welcome the focus on behalf of the applicant countries. They will have much to offer to the development of our social policy agenda."@en1
