"This question is to Commissioner Andor, and is not so much on new forms of work as on the whole issue of job creation.
Many people believe that technology is displacing jobs. Take, for example, the new super iPhone that will be released at the end of the month, which will displace cameras, portable televisions, laptops, video recorders and landlines. The fact is that these new iPhones will be manufactured using technology with minimum labour input, and most of them will be sold on the Internet. More and more students, for example, are using the new iPad with consequent impacts on printers and publishers, etc.
The comment I am making is that, while we are always being told we are moving up the value chain at European level, is technology not displacing more and more jobs? I would like your view on that.
My second question follows on from what Mr Niculescu said. There are sectors where technology cannot displace humans or people, and one of those is the care sector. Given that people are living longer, there will be more and more demand for care services. While I know this is a Member State competence, I just wonder if the Commission intends to take any action on this at European level, because I think that would be useful."@en1
