Although we welcome the measures aimed at removing bureaucracy and simplifying administration, not least for SMEs – provided this does not mean the ‘simplification’ of existing processes aimed at protecting the workers – and at improving access to funding, we feel that the path suggested by this report is a dangerous one.
The growing emphasis on the link between education/teaching systems and the business world is worrying, as it will lead to the merchandising of education and the replacement of education for the citizen by workforce-orientated training. At the same time, ‘entrepreneurship’ is posited as a solution to the problems of unemployment in the EU, along with attempts to validate the idea of ‘employability’, whereby areas that are the responsibility of the State revert solely to individual responsibility, contravening what is proposed in the so-called draft European Constitution. The same can be said for the ‘inevitability’ of raising the retirement age, which undermines the rights of workers and of young people looking for work in an increasingly sparse labour market.
Lastly, it sets great store by private-public partnerships, which, as a rule, are a way of handing on a plate to the private sector important areas that, given their social nature, belong in the public domain. Hence our vote against the report."@en1
