"Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, a lot has been said today about regional and cohesion policy. However, I would like to talk about the role of the European Social Fund, which has a fundamental role and significance in cohesion policy as well, because if large groups are falling behind, then we also have a problem with the cohesion policy. The role of the European Social Fund will be enhanced further by the 2020 strategy, as employability is a key issue. At this point, I would like to draw your attention to two issues: The first is to make sure there is a second chance. We must provide a second chance for those who have lost their jobs in the crisis which accelerated certain globalisation processes, such as the massive exodus of mass production from Europe, and for those who cannot use their skills on the labour market because there is no demand for them. This is what we call ‘skill mismatch’. A second chance must also be provided for those who are unemployable due to a lack of any qualifications, such as school drop-outs. The second is that the 2020 strategy would increase the level of employment among women by 25%. However, this will be possible only if Member States can provide, with the assistance of the European Social Fund, the indispensable backing in the area of services, particularly childcare and elderly care. Since the support required is often smaller in extent, payment rules would probably need to be more flexible than for projects funded from the large structural funds. What is absolutely inevitable is to ensure that supervision and evaluation are more stringent in order to make funding more transparent and more efficient."@en1
