"Madam President, these days, Member States must consolidate their budgets and simultaneously invest in education, training, research and development, and the creation of jobs, while at EU level, they must make the most of the single market, including by making progress in the mutual recognition of diplomas and adopting the Services Directive effectively.
We need new skills and continuous training to ensure that if and when the economy picks up, it should not do so without the creation of new jobs. Very often, training and development should start at a very young age, in order to avoid the preservation of initial, start-up inequalities.
According to OECD research, investment in education and training has a very high yield, because highly trained people pay more taxes, public revenues exceed expenditures, and the rate of employment is also higher among people with higher qualifications. However, we must pay particular attention to people who are the furthest from the labour market, whether due to their disabilities, ethnic background, family circumstances, age or other reasons. They, too, should not be forced out of the labour market, because sustainable development should also be based on inclusion where the labour market is concerned.
Unemployment is particularly dangerous for young people because it can impact their entire future career. The regulations concerning utilisation of the European Social Fund should be set up in such a way as to reach the target groups of the flagship initiatives: the poor, the young and the Roma. This will be our most important tool in the next budgetary period."@en1
