"Mr President, I believe the analysis of the Commission Communication on the recovery of jobs presented in this report is important in the current context. I would like to emphasise the realistic approach adopted by the rapporteur in assessing the status of the labour market in the European Union, and highlight two issues.
The report mentions that there is no correlation between the products of universities and vocational training factors, and the labour market reality. We are short of engineers, we are short of trade workers, and we are short of technicians. I think it will be necessary to try and focus the professional system, or at least the continuous vocational training system, on skills that better match the demands of the labour market, both at Member State and European level. For this reason, I also welcome the decision to reduce the tax wedge on labour, which is currently excessive in a large number of Member States and makes employment unattractive to public and private employers.
I believe this report is an important one; it is an analytical report that will certainly have to be taken into account and considered by Member States in the near future."@en1
