"I worked closely with the shadow on this resolution to call for pro-growth reforms to the labour market to tackle unemployment. I was happy to vote in favour of this resolution having achieved some very sensible compromises making it into a progressive positive position for the EP to take with regard to jobs and growth. It highlights the importance of improving the business environment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are the cornerstone of employment within the EU. It also touches on the need to support entrepreneurs and self starters in developing new businesses and social enterprises which are vital for global competitiveness. I am really pleased that the focus here is on social enterprises and youth entrepreneurship and I will continue to promote these as much a possible within the Employment committee.
I voted against Amendment 11, which had it been passed would have deleted an important call for reform of European employment legislation in order to increase worker mobility and stimulate job creation. It is crucial that member states take decisive action now to liberalise their labour markets in order to build competitive economies that will deliver sustainable growth in the long term. A sustainable and competitive European economy based on real economic performance not endless public borrowing is the only route to creating jobs and reducing our unemployment rates."@en1
