"Mr President, Mr Andor, Mrs Vassiliou, ladies and gentlemen, we have set ourselves the goal of identifying the needs of the job market in the coming years. This means we are speaking of the future of young Europeans, of the professions and the economies that will sustain our communities tomorrow.
For all too long, we have been wondering about the types of jobs that will be available in ten years, about how qualifications will change and about the skills required throughout the Union. We ask ourselves continually whether the education and training currently offered to European citizens will help them find a job easily.
I wonder how the Commission actually intends to go about adopting new measures to achieve the goals it has set itself. Are we sure we know all the needs of young people? Are we sure that e-learning is the solution, or can we study new and more telling forms of education and training? Only six months are left before the pilot project launched in May 2010 concludes, meaning it is already time to draw up budgets. Will the results we achieve be positive? Will they be encouraging? We must aim to train young people using European educational policies that are capable of anticipating future needs.
Not long ago, I heard a long list of things we ‘have to do’. To use medical terminology, I have heard a lot about diagnosis but not a lot about the cure. We must not be content with a lot of hot air but must work with substantial ideas, as the EU 2020 strategy demands. This is the challenge that all Member States and enterprises must tackle and this is the best legacy that we can leave to our children."@en1
