"Mr President, first of all I would like to congratulate Mrs Karin Jöns for this excellent programme. In light of the Lisbon Strategy, I consider it very important to take such initiatives, the aim of which is to improve employment, strengthen social solidarity and thus to make the European Union more competitive. We need ambitious goals: restoring full employment, improving the quality and productivity of labour and strengthening social solidarity. In this regard, I wish to emphasise in particular the part of the programme that devotes special attention to gender mainstreaming, the implementation of the principle of gender equality in social policy. I am also pleased that the report strives to take into consideration the special needs of people with disabilities. In working out and implementing the programme, I consider due cooperation with other committees to be important as well. In my opinion, the protection of minorities, and in particular of the Roma minorities, should constitute a separate section of the report, and perhaps it would be worth devoting proportionately more funds to the financing of gender equality. The implementation of PROGRESS calls for European-wide sharing of information and the dissemination of best practices throughout the entire Community, if we want to achieve these goals. All in all, we have before us a programme that can be realised only through collaboration across Europe, something that deserves our support in every area."@en1
