"Mr President, I too would like to convey my thanks to the rapporteur. Her report has looked at both the possibilities and the challenges of the developing service sector. It is a highly complex area, not least because there is a divide between services that are geographically fixed, either owing to where the clientele is or where the resources are, and those that are far more moveable. One of the future challenges concerns the way in which those services do not necessarily move within one Member State or across borders, but indeed out of the European Union altogether. This type of mobility, which we might not have sought quite so anxiously, will be a future challenge for us.
I am very pleased about the attention paid to women in this report. As the rapporteur pointed out in the report, women are overwhelmingly employed in the service sector. Indeed certain jobs are very heavily gendered, particularly in the public and care services. Many of these sectors also have a significant number of migrant, black and ethnic minority workers, so they are important in terms of integration and social inclusion.
We welcome the emphasis placed on the specific training needs required if we are going to provide quality employment. However, we need to look very carefully at how we avoid this huge divide that currently exists in the services sector between high value, highly-paid jobs and those which are poorly paid under intense cost pressure; how we allow people in those sectors to develop their talents and to find mobility is going to be extremely important."@en1
