"Madam President, what this report seeks to do is to redefine our labour market, to bring it more into line with our employment niches, and from this point of view, it is positive and meets expectations. However, I must also say that I am perplexed by what the Commission says in its report and also by what it fails to mention. For example, it highlights the fact that in the coming years, 85% of the jobs created will require a high-level qualification. This is a warning to the next generation that, if they want to find a job in coming years, they must be trained and that this training must also be continuous. We are asking them for more qualifications, and yet we are offering them less security. Does this not seem contradictory to you? Does it not at least strike you as lamentable that our response to harder work is fewer rights? The maxim of ‘the more the temporary employment, the higher the employability’, has failed. We have created employment with growth and we are destroying it in times of recession. Meanwhile, we have not at any time managed to solve the underlying problem, which is that, regardless of whatever cycle we are in, the youth unemployment rate is always twice as high as the general unemployment rate. Young people have fewer rights than a decade ago, but still have the same unemployment rates. This means that, if we do not criticise the single contract that the Commission proposes in this report, if we do not stop the attacks on collective bargaining, if we do not call for an end to rising insecurity as the only possible way forward, if we do not say that the problem with new jobs is not the social costs of the workers, we will be falling once again into the mistakes of the past and will consequently also be complicit, once again, in the problems of the future."@en1
