"Employment and decent social conditions are rights which should be enjoyed by every citizen and guaranteed by every government. Employment is the source of human prosperity and social development. Decision makers must be sensitive to these matters, and they must also make every effort, using all available institutional, legal, economic and financial means, to achieve these objectives. During a crisis, employment is a particularly important objective of economic and social policy.
We are currently going through a crisis, and this is sometimes even proving a painful experience, as is happening, for example, in Greece. Investments which create new jobs, stimulation of internal demand – it is these methods which are effective, and not a programme consisting only of cuts and sacrifices. In difficult times, a somewhat different role can also be played by taxes – the burden needs to be spread fairly across different social groups, and those who are more affluent should give greater help to those who are less well off. More solidarity is needed in society. It is to be welcomed that Parliament has taken up this matter, and the resolution’s recommendations should be put into effect as soon as possible."@en1
