"I voted for the resolution on employment and social aspects in the Annual Growth Survey 2012. During the current financial and economic crisis, the EU has lost 6 million jobs and economic recovery measures in the last two years have led to the creation of only 1.5 million jobs by mid-2011. Unemployment rates range from 4.1% in Austria to 22.8% in Spain, while the share of long-term unemployment is over 40%. Youth unemployment is particularly alarming, as more than 5 million young Europeans (representing 20% of the young workforce) do not have a job.
I voted for supporting sustainable job creation with investments and tax reform, improving the quality of employment and conditions for increased labour participation, tackling youth unemployment, tackling poverty and social exclusion, and enhancing democratic legitimacy, accountability and ownership. I emphasise the importance of safeguarding the European social model. EU economic and social development and competitiveness require a skilled workforce. Therefore, the Union and Member States must invest in education and health systems."@en1
