"I abstained from voting on this report. It contains a number of positive features, such as increased investment in education and training, tackling youth unemployment, increased female employment and a guarantee of involvement for the social partners. It is to be hoped that these are not just fine words, but doubts arise, especially upon reading that fiscal consolidation must be based on social justice, that austerity measures should not compromise social protection, and even that state-run pension systems should not be placed in danger.
We are, unfortunately, aware of how these guidelines are implemented currently, especially when it comes to assisting companies by removing the tax burden of non-wage costs, introducing benefits systems adapted to the new requirements of the labour market in order to maintain employability, or even forcing Member States, burdened by the current crisis, to implement supposedly necessary reform programmes. We know, above all, of the disastrous consequences of these reforms. To curb the system, we shall need more than pious wishes."@en1
