"The economic, financial and social crisis has led to more than 5 million jobs being lost in the three years since it started. Europe sees itself faced with a reality which highlights the weaknesses in its social model. There are more than 23 million unemployed across the EU, accounting for 10% of the working population. This is an alarming figure which puts an immense strain on social protection systems in Europe. At the same time, we have the irony of a labour shortage for posts requiring high qualifications.
Europe is at a crossroads. It is imperative that we move into the black economically and in terms of growth. We must find the path to normality again. Europe must reach a situation where it can help its citizens to update their skills, establish a clearer relationship between education, vocational training and work, develop a suitable skill mix and anticipate better which skills will be sought after in the future so that a balance can be ensured between supply and demand on the labour market. Work must be encouraged and not social assistance. I welcome the Agenda for New Skills and Jobs put forward by the European Commission, a subject on which Parliament is also going to express its views."@en1
