"Mr President, already this morning we discussed the right to strike and the need to create new jobs to tackle youth unemployment. Our current discussion on the promotion of employee financial participation has some potential to help deal with both issues. As a worker and an employer, you are much more likely to recognise the rights and duties of all partners, and employee ownership schemes have some potential to create more and better jobs. However, for me one matter is paramount, and that is the potential that employee financial participation has to ensure a better share-out of the wealth that is being created by employment. The gap between workers and those with wealth continues to grow, and employee financial participation can help bridge that gap.
Today we asked a number of questions of the Commission, and while we were told about an action plan and about risks, etc., I am still waiting to hear specific, concrete actions. Listening to all the colleagues, it is clear that employee financial participation varies significantly from one Member State to another, with a glowing report from the UK. I agree with Ms McIntyre in that we need the Commission to create, first of all, an environment that is conducive to the take-up of these schemes, and secondly, the flourishing of these companies. You, as Commissioner, have an opportunity to make a real difference here after years and years of talking. I look forward to hearing your proposals."@en1
