"Mr President, I am happy to be here today to defend the revision of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, because I believe that due to the financial and economic crisis, and the ensuing social crisis that we are facing, it is important to defend jobs.
If we are to defend the future of our workers, we of course need to offer them professional mobility, so as to allow them to better adapt to the changing needs of business, both now and in the future. Economic recovery, the future of employment, the competitiveness of our countries, all these depend on the development of employees’ skills, as it is they who set the standards for our businesses.
Of course, the first step required in the fight against social exclusion is integration into the labour market. We must promote this social model, and work together to promote this ‘human’ capital. All workers have the right to work.
Our political efficiency will be measured by the speed with which we take action to ensure that mobility, adaptability, and the validation of acquired experience, can become strong levers for all the men and women of our European countries in the future, for all the men and women employed in our businesses. This is what we care about, and it is these things that have guided the work of our Committee on Employment and Social Affairs."@en1
