"Globalisation, the ageing of the population, acceleration of trade: so many challenges that will have to be taken up tomorrow even more than today.
No Member State can claim to manage these issues alone, and it is indeed through coordinated action with the European Union that the success of employment policy and social policy will be achieved. Also, I am pleased about the own-initiative report on modernising labour law, which is necessary to respond to the challenges of the 21st century. Its objective is more than praiseworthy, it is vital.
Work must be revalued, its legislative framework adapted to the times, and it will be necessary to allow those who wish to work to work, by developing attractive training, and those who are able to work more to do so, by offering more flexibility in negotiations between employees and employers.
Flexibility does not mean the end of protective rules, it means that these rules will be determined by free negotiation appropriate to everyone’s needs, needs which will be stated within a social dialogue that is encouraged.
France has already initiated this dialogue with the social partners, and it is with satisfaction, therefore, that I welcome this report, in line with the ambitions and actions undertaken in France."@en1
