". I voted for the Christensen report because it adopts an appropriate and widely supported approach to combining flexibility and security in manner. It makes it very clear that a flexible labour market can go hand in hand with job security. The term ‘flexicurity’ is often demonised, but in this report we have managed to overcome the negative connotations of what should be a guiding principle for employment policy in Europe. Job creation is vitally important for combating unemployment in Europe, which remains too high despite the progress made in recent years. Flexicurity gives us a realistic prospect of achieving the aims of the Lisbon Strategy. If we are to do so, we have to find ways of facilitating access to employment and of training a skilled, flexible, mobile and motivated labour force. Having a job is the best protection against all forms of social exclusion. Europe must encourage the Member States to facilitate access to employment for those trying to enter or re-enter the labour market. All legislation on employment and working conditions is a matter for the Member States, and I support the amendments which strengthen the principle of subsidiarity."@en1
