"Madam President, Commissioner, Ms Basto’s excellent report is part of a commitment that we made together to the Europe 2020 strategy. We undertook to raise the employment rate among people aged between 20 and 64 to 75% over the course of the next few years. The fact is, unemployment is in full swing. It has destroyed jobs and has hit young people particularly hard. As Ms Bastos has said, there are two forecasts prompting us to change our course of action.
Firstly, a significant change in the type of jobs that will be created, on the one hand, thanks to the end of the crisis and, on the other, because many age groups will have retired. This change in jobs will require workers to adapt to new conditions and to a new level of corporate competitiveness.
Secondly, it will result in higher qualification levels. Almost 15% of low skilled jobs will disappear, and 15% of highly skilled jobs will appear. Hence, workers as a whole will have to be moved. This is already happening in companies.
The European Social Fund (ESF) is there to support this process. These are dynamic appropriations, Commissioner, and that is why I urge you to ensure that the ESF is not penalised twice for reasons associated with Member States’ good governance. You can imagine this association with Member States’ governance of land management funds, but not of the ESF; this is because the latter is used to support workers and to support the competitiveness of businesses. That is the only way Europe will be able to overcome the crisis."@en1
