lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, as a country, the Republic of Estonia, which was restored fifteen years ago, is a winner. Shock therapy ensured Estonia’s rapid return to the European cultural and economic area. But Estonian society has split into winners and losers. Among the working population, the winners are the young people, who in this new situation quickly acquired the necessary diploma and skills. The losers are those who are nearing pension age. They were considered relics who could not be retrained. The acquisition of the eight key competencies proposed by the commission would definitely make it easier for workers to adapt to the changing requirements in the labour market. American workers change professions an average of three times during their lifetimes. This will soon become common in Europe as well. With the increase in life expectancy, a forty-five-year-old worker will be only half way through his or her career. This means new initiatives in middle age, although age discrimination is still undoubtedly a reality for workers in middle and lower-level jobs throughout the world. In introducing the system of lifelong learning, we must change societal perception. The eight key competencies must be given a content that would give workers confidence in the future; a confidence arising from their belief in their own ability to develop. At the same time, employers must be encouraged to invest in experienced people from outside. Europe must become accustomed to lifelong learning as an everyday phenomenon and an integral part of working life; otherwise, the achievement of the Lisbon objectives will only be wishful thinking."@en1
