"Mr President, ‘Towards a job-rich recovery’ is certainly an inspiring title for any communication and indeed, the Commissioner’s words were inspiring today when he said that we must ensure that employment and social concerns do not lag behind economic concerns. Now, of course, the challenge is to make those fine words a reality and to ensure that our plans and programmes deliver European added value.
One very important proposal is the creation of a European investment package to be undertaken by all Member States to deliver sustainable jobs. I think this package would send a clear message to citizens that we are seriously attempting to rebalance the current austerity measures or the current austerity approach with the Europe-wide pact for investment and jobs. I know that, when 60% of Irish citizens voted for the Fiscal Treaty, they did so in the expectation, among other things, of a growth and investment pact.
This resolution also calls for upskilling and retraining of workers and one current instrument to achieve that at European level is the European Globalisation Fund. Therefore, I am appealing to Member States not to block its continuation but to work together to ensure that the EGF contributes to European added value by upskilling redundant workers."@en1
