I voted in favour of the report on the proposed decision regarding the Progress Community Programme. This report changed the proposal of the Commission which previously supported the complete financing of a new microfinance initiative to create employment – a EUR 100 million programme created as an anti-crisis measure and which aims to give assistance to the unemployed by stimulating their entrepreneurship – from the existing budget of the ‘Progress’ programme. This programme was created to support the achievement of the objectives of the European Union in the area of employment, social matters and equality of opportunities, as defined in the Social Agenda, as well as to contribute to the realisation of the Lisbon Growth and Employment Strategy, having an extremely positive average rate of implementation (80%). In a period in which the financial and economic crisis is becoming a social and employment crisis, we would, by adopting the proposal of the Commission, be sending the wrong signal as ‘Progress’ has the most vulnerable groups as its target. The proposal of Parliament, thanks to a commitment with the Council, forecasts that EUR 60 million will come from the Progress programme and EUR 40 million from parts of the budget which have not been utilised. Next year, both programmes must be fully applied with adequate financing."@en1
