lpv:translated text	"Mr President, implementation of the Lisbon Strategy is a very ambitious objective that the leaders of the European Union have set the Member States. The different experiences of individual Member States in areas such as employment demonstrate just how ambitious this objective is. There are some examples where employment levels have approached the indicators set. I would remind you that these rates are set at 70% for men, 60% for women and 50% for the 55 - 64 age group. However, there are countries, especially amongst the new Member States of the European Union, that are a long way from achieving the aims of this strategy. Bearing this in mind, I must once again applaud the initiative to create PROGRESS, a new employment and social solidarity programme for the Community. As a member of the PPE-DE Group, I would like to stress at this juncture that ever since the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs began its work, my group has been in favour of increasing funding for specific fields of action while, at the same time, decreasing the 10% target reserve which was stipulated in the draft programme. The PPE-DE Group specifically stressed the need to decrease the beneficiaries’ own contributions. This is why we welcome the fact that the funding for the PROGRESS programme has been increased to EUR 743 million. Fortunately, this increase has already been agreed within the framework of an interinstitutional agreement and included in the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective. Finally, I welcome the fact that the Council’s common position contains most of the amendments tabled by the European Parliament This is particularly a positive step in terms of making better use of resources to ensure that women and disabled people are more active in the labour market. The low level of employment, especially amongst disabled people, is a particular problem in my country and I hope that thanks to the PROGRESS programme, we will be able to remedy this situation within the next seven years."@en1
