"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the need to modernise labour law in the face of the innovations of the 21st century imposes genuine, demanding challenges on the existing labour market, especially on all those looking for a new job, a high-quality job, a job that ties in with other areas of their personal lives.
Marrying flexibility of work – which is a characteristic of a competitive, global market – with job security – a right/duty for every European citizen – requires us, as stipulated in the Lisbon Strategy, to make professional skills and abilities usable. This requires the necessary tools to be provided in order to make people desirable in the eyes of businesses, adjusting their technical and specialist training to the new technologies.
In European society there is an educational and training emergency that is preventing or slowing down the development of skills and knowledge. For the European Union, investment in human capital and in the training of young people is the best and most modern way to affirm the right to work. This is one of the challenges put forward by the Green Paper.
I thank the rapporteur for the work he has done in harmonising the various points of view that were expressed in the debate."@en1
