lpv:translated text	". The Lisbon strategy set out a range of instruments aimed at creating more and better jobs. One of those instruments is lifelong learning. Lifelong learning is a long way from being a reality for European workers, however. Improving vocational skills is not accorded its due merit, even though the Member States place the issue at the heart of reducing unemployment and promoting productivity. In the EU of 15, only 8.5% of European citizens enjoyed this professional benefit. What kind of figures will we now see in the Europe of 25? We are speaking about something that has little practical substance. Because I feel that anything that is not measured cannot be managed, conditions must be created whereby comparable data that will give a true picture of the situation as regards continuing vocational training can be regularly and systematically collected. I am also in favour of including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in statistics of this kind. Despite the amount of bureaucracy involved, it is worthwhile involving the SMEs in this process, albeit by means of simplified processes, because they account for some 90% of European enterprises. Promoting training for our workers and investing in their lifelong employability are sustainable ways of achieving greater competitiveness in the European economy."@en1
