lpv:spoken text	"From the employment and social standpoint, I find this work programme very disappointing. Yet again we are promised little more than a raft of Green and White Papers and communications, recycling the same old material. We are about to get a Green Paper on labour law that lists questions that were put and answered ten years ago by Allan Larsson while he was the Commission’s Director-General for Employment. The communication hails flexicurity as a means of realising opportunities offered by European labour markets. In reality, it has been shown to have no positive meaning for working people. For millions flexicurity is a weasel word, a codeword for exploitation, insecurity and uncertainty. We need an EU legislative framework to tackle unfair and exploitative employment and quasi-employment relationships. All workers in all regions deserve access to decent work to give them and their families the chance of a decent life. In the meantime, social Europe is at a standstill. The last piece of EU legislation in the social field was adopted over three years ago. The Commission’s lack of ambition reflects its own imbalanced policy perspective. Better regulation means no legislation in the social field but also reflects the poor prospects for any proposal in the Employment Council. Employment ministers need to begin to play a positive role and they could start by doing something positive on working time and temporary agency work. Lisbon promised more and better quality jobs. What has been done to deliver that promise for working people? Precious little. So my message to both the Commission and Council is this: let us stop the rhetoric and start to deliver."@en⁴

Ud fra et beskæftigelsesmæssigt og socialt synspunkt er arbejdsprogrammet efter min opfattelse meget skuffende. Der er endnu en gang ikke tale om meget andet end løfter om grøn- og hvidbøger og meddelelser, som er genbrug af det samme gamle materiale. Vi vil snart modtage en grønbog om arbejdsret, hvori der stilles spørgsmål, som blev stillet og besvaret for 10 år siden af Allan Larsson, da han var Kommissionens generaldirektør for beskæftigelse. I meddelelsen hyldes "flexicurity" som et middel til at realisere de muligheder, som tilbydes af de europæiske arbejdsmarkeder. I realiteten har det vist sig ikke at have nogen positiv betydning for arbejdstagerne. "Flexicurity" er for millioner af mennesker et tvetydigt begreb, der betyder udnyttelse, usikkerhed og uvished. Vi har brug for lovgivningsmæssige rammer i EU til at tackle urimelig behandling og udnyttelse på arbejdspladsen og kvasi-arbejdsforhold. Alle arbejdstagere i alle regioner fortjener at have mulighed for anstændigt arbejde, så de og deres familier kan leve et anstændigt liv. I mellemtiden står det sociale Europa i stampe. Den sidste del af EU-lovgivningen på det sociale område blev vedtaget for over tre år siden. Kommissionens mangel på ambitioner afspejler dens uafbalancerede politiske perspektiv. Bedre lovgivning betyder ingen lovgivning på det sociale område, men afspejler også de dårlige udsigter for ethvert forslag i Rådet (beskæftigelse). Beskæftigelsesministrene skal spille en mere positiv rolle, og de skal hurtigst muligt gøre noget positivt ved problemerne om arbejdstid og vikaransattes forhold. Lissabon-målsætningerne var at skabe flere og bedre arbejdspladser. Hvad er der gjort for at indfri dette løfte over for arbejdstagerne? Meget lidt. Mit budskab til både Kommissionen og Rådet er derfor følgende: Handling frem for ord."@da² "Ich finde dieses Arbeitsprogramm aus beschäftigungs- und sozialpolitischer Sicht sehr enttäuschend. Wieder einmal verspricht man uns kaum mehr als eine Flut von Grün- und Weißbüchern und Mitteilungen, in denen dasselbe alte Material neu aufbereitet wird. Wir sollen ein Grünbuch zum Arbeitsrecht erhalten, in dem Fragen aufgelistet sind, die Allan Larsson vor zehn Jahren gestellt und beantwortet hat, als er bei der Kommission Generaldirektor für Beschäftigung war. In der Mitteilung wird Flexicurity als Mittel zur Nutzung von Chancen auf den europäischen Arbeitsmärkten gepriesen. In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass der Begriff für die arbeitenden Menschen nicht positiv besetzt ist. Für Millionen ist Flexicurity ein schwammiger Begriff, ein Codewort für Ausbeutung, Unsicherheit und Ungewissheit. Wir brauchen einen EU-Rechtsrahmen, um etwas gegen unfaire und ausbeuterische Beschäftigung und gegen beschäftigungsähnliche Arbeitsverhältnisse zu unternehmen. Alle Arbeitnehmer in allen Regionen haben einen Anspruch auf Zugang zu angemessener Arbeit, die ihnen und ihren Familien ein Leben in Anstand ermöglicht. Das soziale Europa ist mittlerweile ad acta gelegt worden. Der letzte EU-Rechtsakt auf sozialem Gebiet wurde vor über drei Jahren angenommen. Der mangelnde Anspruch der Kommission ist Ausdruck ihrer unausgewogenen politischen Sichtweise. Bessere Rechtsetzung bedeutet keine Rechtsvorschriften auf sozialem Gebiet, zeigt aber auch die schlechten Aussichten für etwaige Vorschläge im Rat „Beschäftigung“. Die für Beschäftigung zuständigen Minister müssen endlich eine positive Rolle spielen, und sie könnten damit beginnen, indem sie etwas Konstruktives in Sachen Arbeitszeit und Leiharbeit unternehmen. Lissabon hat mehr und hochwertigere Arbeitsplätze versprochen. Was wurde denn getan, um dieses den arbeitenden Menschen gegebene Versprechen einzulösen? Herzlich wenig. Meine Botschaft sowohl an die Kommission als auch an den Rat lautet daher: Der leeren Worte sind genug gewechselt. Handeln wir endlich."@de⁹ "Στα ζητήματα της απασχόλησης και των κοινωνικών υποθέσεων, θεωρώ ότι το πρόγραμμα αυτό είναι πολύ απογοητευτικό. Για μια ακόμη φορά λαμβάνουμε υποσχέσεις για μια σειρά λευκών και πράσινων βίβλων και ανακοινώσεων, στις οποίες ανακυκλώνεται το ίδιο παρωχημένο υλικό. Θα εκδοθεί μια πράσινη βίβλος για την εργατική νομοθεσία η οποία περιλαμβάνει ερωτήματα τα οποία είχαν τεθεί και απαντηθεί πριν από δέκα χρόνια από τον Allan Larsson, όταν ήταν Γενικός Διευθυντής της Επιτροπής για την απασχόληση. Στην ανακοίνωση χαιρετίζεται ο συνδυασμός ευελιξίας και ασφάλειας στην εργασία ως μέσο εκμετάλλευσης των ευκαιριών που προσφέρουν οι ευρωπαϊκές αγορές εργασίας. Στην πραγματικότητα, αποδεικνύεται ότι δεν έχει θετική σημασία για τους εργαζόμενους. Για εκατομμύρια εργαζόμενους, ο συνδυασμός ευελιξίας και ασφάλειας στην εργασία αποτελεί ευφημισμό για την εκμετάλλευση, την ανασφάλεια και την αβεβαιότητα. Χρειαζόμαστε ένα κοινοτικό νομοθετικό πλαίσιο το οποίο θα καταπολεμά την αδικία και την εκμετάλλευση στις σχέσεις απασχόλησης και οιονεί απασχόλησης. Όλοι οι εργαζόμενοι σε όλες τις περιοχές έχουν δικαίωμα πρόσβασης σε αξιοπρεπή εργασία η οποία θα προσφέρει στους ίδιους και στις οικογένειές τους τη δυνατότητα να ζουν αξιοπρεπώς. Εν τω μεταξύ, η κοινωνική Ευρώπη παραμένει στάσιμη. Το πιο πρόσφατο νομοθέτημα της ΕΕ στον κοινωνικό τομέα εγκρίθηκε πριν από τρία και πλέον χρόνια. Η έλλειψη φιλοδοξίας που επιδεικνύει η Επιτροπή αντικατοπτρίζει την έλλειψη ισορροπίας στην πολιτική της οπτική. Η βελτίωση του ρυθμιστικού πλαισίου συνεπάγεται τη μη θέσπιση νομοθεσίας στον κοινωνικό τομέα, αλλά αντικατοπτρίζει επίσης τις αποθαρρυντικές προοπτικές κάθε πρότασης που μπορεί να κατατεθεί στο Συμβούλιο Απασχόλησης. Οι Υπουργοί Απασχόλησης πρέπει να αρχίσουν να διαδραματίζουν θετικό ρόλο, και μπορούν να ξεκινήσουν κάνοντας κάτι θετικό όσον αφορά τον χρόνο εργασίας και τους εργαζόμενους σε εταιρείες προσωρινής απασχόλησης. Η στρατηγική της Λισαβόνας υπόσχεται περισσότερες και καλύτερης ποιότητας θέσεις απασχόλησης. Τι έχει γίνει για την υλοποίηση αυτής της υπόσχεσης προς τους εργαζόμενους; Ελάχιστα. Συνεπώς, το μήνυμά μου προς την Επιτροπή και το Συμβούλιο είναι το εξής: ας αφήσουμε τα λόγια και ας προχωρήσουμε σε πράξεις."@el¹⁰ "Desde el punto de vista social y del empleo, este programa de trabajo me parece muy decepcionante. Una vez más se nos promete poco más que un conjunto de Libros Verdes y Blancos y de comunicaciones que reciclan el mismo material antiguo. Estamos a punto de que nos den un Libro Verde sobre Derecho laboral que enumera cuestiones que se plantearon y fueron contestadas hace diez años por Allan Larsson, cuando era Director General de Empleo de la Comisión. La comunicación considera que la flexiguridad es un medio para aprovechar las oportunidades ofrecidas por los mercados de trabajo europeos. En realidad, se ha demostrado que no tiene significado positivo alguno para los trabajadores. Para millones de personas, la flexiguridad es una palabra engañosa, un eufemismo de explotación, inseguridad e incertidumbre. Necesitamos un marco legislativo de la UE para atajar el empleo injusto y explotador, así como las relaciones de seudoempleo. Todos los trabajadores de todas las regiones merecen el acceso a un trabajo digno para tener y dar a sus familias la oportunidad de una vida digna. Mientras tanto, la Europa social se encuentra en un punto muerto. El último instrumento legislativo de la Unión Europea en el ámbito social se adoptó hace más de tres años. La falta de ambición de la Comisión refleja su propia perspectiva política desequilibrada. Legislar mejor significa no legislar en el ámbito social, pero también refleja las escasas posibilidades de cualquier propuesta en el Consejo de Empleo. Los Ministros de Empleo tienen que empezar a desempeñar un papel positivo, y podrían comenzar haciendo algo positivo con respecto al tiempo de trabajo y al empleo en empresas de trabajo temporal. Lisboa prometió más puesto de trabajo de mejor calidad. ¿Qué se ha hecho para cumplir esa promesa a los trabajadores? Bastante poco. Por ello, mi mensaje, tanto a la Comisión como al Consejo, es el siguiente: Dejémonos de retórica y empecemos a cumplir."@es²⁰ "From the employment and social standpoint, I find this work programme very disappointing.

Meille ei taaskaan luvata juuri enempää kuin kasapäin vihreitä ja valkoisia kirjoja ja tiedonantoja, joissa kierrätetään vanhaa tavaraa. Olemme saamassa vihreän kirjan työlainsäädännöstä, ja siinä esitetään kysymysluettelo, jonka komission työllisyyden pääosaston pääjohtaja Allan Larsson esitti jo kymmenen vuotta sitten ja joihin hän myös vastasi. Tiedonannossa ylistetään työelämän joustoturvaa keinona hyödyntää Euroopan työmarkkinoiden tarjoamia mahdollisuuksia. Todellisuudessa on osoitettu, ettei sillä ole myönteistä merkitystä työntekijöiden kannalta. Miljoonille ihmisille työelämän joustoturva on kiero sanonta, salasana, joka merkitsee hyväksikäyttöä, turvattomuutta ja epävarmuutta. Tarvitaan EU:n lainsäädäntökehys epäreilujen ja hyväksikäytöksi tulkittavien niin sanottujen työpaikkojen poistamiseksi. Kaikkien alueiden kaikilla työntekijöillä on oltava saatavillaan kunnollista työtä, joka takaa heille ja heidän perheilleen mahdollisuuden hyvään elämään. Samaan aikaan sosiaalinen Eurooppa on pysähdyksissä. EU:n sosiaalialan lainsäädäntöä on annettu viimeksi yli kolme vuotta sitten. Komission kunnianhimon puute heijastaa sen omaa epätasapainoista poliittista näkemystä. Sosiaalialalla parempi lainsäädäntö merkitsee lainsäädännön puuttumista, mutta se heijastaa myös työllisyysasioiden neuvoston mahdollisten ehdotusten heikkoja näkymiä. Työllisyysministerien olisi otettava myönteinen rooli, ja he voisivat aloittaa tekemällä jotain myönteistä työajan ja väliaikaista työtä tarjoavien toimistojen alalla. Lissabonissa luvattiin enemmän ja parempia työpaikkoja. Mitä on tehty tämän työntekijöille annetun lupauksen täyttämiseksi? Hyvin vähän. Viestini komissiolle ja neuvostolle onkin tämä: on aika lopettaa puheet ja ryhtyä toimiin."@fi⁷ "Du point de vue de l’emploi et du social, je trouve que ce programme de travail est très décevant. Une fois de plus, on ne nous promet guère plus qu’un train de livres verts et blancs, de communications, qui recyclent toujours le même vieux matériel. Nous allons avoir un livre vert sur le droit du travail qui énumère les questions posées et auxquelles Allan Larsson a répondu il y a dix ans, à l’époque où il était directeur général chargé de l’emploi à la Commission. La communication salue la flexicurité, qui permettra, selon elle, de tirer profit des perspectives offertes par les marchés européens du travail. En réalité, il a été prouvé que les travailleurs ne la voient pas d’un bon œil. Pour des millions de personnes, la flexicurité est un mot ambigu, un mot de code pour exploitation, insécurité et incertitude. Nous avons besoin d’un cadre législatif de l’Union européenne pour traiter l’emploi injuste et exploiteur, et les relations de quasi emploi. Tous les travailleurs dans toutes les régions ont droit à un accès au travail décent qui leur donne à eux et à leur famille la possibilité de vivre décemment. En attendant, l’Europe sociale est au point mort. Le dernier texte de l’Union européenne traitant du social a été adopté il y a plus de trois ans. Le manque d’ambition de la Commission reflète sa propre perspective politique déséquilibrée. Mieux légiférer implique l’absence de législation dans le domaine social, mais reflète aussi les piètres perspectives de toute proposition au sein du Conseil «Emploi». Les ministres de l’emploi doivent commencer à jouer un rôle concret et ils pourraient commencer par faire quelque chose de concret en ce qui concerne la durée du travail et le travail temporaire. Lisbonne a promis des emplois plus nombreux et de meilleure qualité. Qu’a-t-on fait pour remplir cette promesse à l’égard de la classe laborieuse? Rien du tout. Mon message à la Commission et au Conseil est donc le suivant: finissons-en avec la rhétorique et commençons à respecter notre promesse."@fr⁸ "From the employment and social standpoint, I find this work programme very disappointing.

Per l’ennesima volta, ci viene promesso poco più di una serie di Libri verdi e bianchi e di comunicazioni, che riciclano lo stesso vecchio materiale. Sta per essere presentato un Libro verde sul diritto del lavoro, che elenca domande poste e relative risposte fornite dieci anni fa da Allan Larsson, quando era Direttore generale per l’occupazione in seno alla Commissione. La comunicazione proclama la “flessicurezza”, quale mezzo per realizzare le opportunità offerte dai mercati europei del lavoro. In realtà, è stato dimostrato che non ha alcun significato positivo per i lavoratori. Per milioni di persone, la “flessicurezza” è una parola subdola, un codice che significa sfruttamento, insicurezza e incertezza. Abbiamo bisogno di un quadro legislativo europeo per affrontare l’occupazione irregolare basata sullo sfruttamento e le relazioni di semioccupazione. Tutti i lavoratori in tutte le regioni meritano l’accesso a un lavoro dignitoso, che offra loro e alle rispettive famiglie la possibilità di vivere una vita dignitosa. Nel contempo, l’Europa sociale è a un punto morto. L’ultimo atto legislativo dell’Unione in campo sociale è stato adottato più di tre anni fa. La mancanza di ambizione della Commissione riflette lo squilibrio della sua stessa prospettiva politica. Legiferare meglio significa nessuna legislazione in campo sociale, ma riflette anche le scarse prospettive di proposte in seno al Consiglio “Occupazione”. I ministri del Lavoro devono cominciare a svolgere un ruolo positivo e potrebbero cominciare col fare qualcosa di positivo riguardo all’orario di lavoro e alle agenzie di lavoro temporaneo. Lisbona ha promesso nuovi posti di lavoro di migliore qualità. Che cosa è stato fatto per mantenere tale promessa ai lavoratori? Ben poco. Il mio messaggio alla Commissione e al Consiglio è quindi: facciamola finita con la retorica e cominciamo ad agire."@it¹² "From the employment and social standpoint, I find this work programme very disappointing.

Wederom wordt ons niet veel meer beloofd dan een massa groen- en witboeken en mededelingen waarin steeds hetzelfde materiaal wordt herhaald. Er komt binnenkort een groenboek over de arbeidswetgeving waarin vragen staan opgesomd die tien jaar geleden zijn gesteld en zijn beantwoord door Allan Larsson, toen hij directeur-generaal van DG Werkgelegenheid van de Commissie was. De mededeling verwelkomt ‘flexicurity’ als een instrument om de kansen te benutten die de Europese arbeidsmarkten bieden. In feite is aangetoond dat het geen positieve betekenis heeft voor de beroepsbevolking. Voor miljoenen mensen is ‘flexicurity’ een verdoezelende term, een eufemisme voor uitbuiting, onveiligheid en onzekerheid. We moeten een Europees wetgevingskader hebben om oneerlijke en uitbuitende arbeids- en schijnarbeidsbetrekkingen aan te pakken. Alle werkenden in alle regio’s hebben recht op toegang tot behoorlijk werk om zichzelf en hun gezin een kans te geven op een behoorlijk leven. Intussen staat Europa sociaal gezien stil. De laatste Europese wet op sociaal vlak is meer dan drie jaar geleden aangenomen. Het gebrek aan ambitie van de Commissie weerspiegelt haar eigen onevenwichtige beleidsperspectief. Beter wetgeven betekent geen wetgeven op sociaal vlak, maar weerspiegelt tevens de bedroevende vooruitzichten voor elk voorstel in de Werkgelegenheidsraad. De ministers die over werkgelegenheid gaan, dienen een positieve rol te gaan spelen, en ze zouden een eerste stap in die richting kunnen zetten door iets positiefs te doen met betrekking tot arbeidstijd en uitzendwerk. Lissabon beloofde meer en betere banen. Wat is er ondernomen om die belofte na te komen voor de beroepsbevolking? Zeer weinig. Mijn boodschap aan zowel de Commissie als de Raad is dus: geen woorden, maar daden."@nl³ "From the employment and social standpoint, I find this work programme very disappointing.

Yet again we are promised little more than a raft of Green and White Papers and communications, recycling the same old material. We are about to get a Green Paper on labour law that lists questions that were put and answered ten years ago by Allan Larsson while he was the Commission’s Director-General for Employment. The communication hails flexicurity as a means of realising opportunities offered by European labour markets. In reality, it has been shown to have no positive meaning for working people. For millions flexicurity is a weasel word, a codeword for exploitation, insecurity and uncertainty. We need an EU legislative framework to tackle unfair and exploitative employment and quasi-employment relationships. All workers in all regions deserve access to decent work to give them and their families the chance of a decent life. In the meantime, social Europe is at a standstill. The last piece of EU legislation in the social field was adopted over three years ago. The Commission’s lack of ambition reflects its own imbalanced policy perspective. Better regulation means no legislation in the social field but also reflects the poor prospects for any proposal in the Employment Council. Employment ministers need to begin to play a positive role and they could start by doing something positive on working time and temporary agency work. Lisbon promised more and better quality jobs. What has been done to deliver that promise for working people? Precious little. So my message to both the Commission and Council is this: let us stop the rhetoric and start to deliver."@sl¹⁹ "Utifrån en sysselsättningsståndpunkt och en social ståndpunkt anser jag att detta arbetsprogram är en stor besvikelse. Vi utlovas återigen inte mycket mer än en rad grön- och vitböcker och meddelanden där samma gamla material återanvänds. Vi ska få en grönbok om arbetsrätt där frågor listas som ställdes och besvarades för tio år sedan av Allan Larsson, medan han var kommissionens generaldirektör för sysselsättning. I meddelandet hyllas konceptet [flexibel säkerhet] som ett medel för förverkligande av möjligheter som erbjuds av europeiska arbetsmarknader. I verkligheten har det inte visat sig ha någon positiv innebörd för förvärvsarbetande människor. är för miljontals människor ett halt ord, ett kodord för utnyttjande, osäkerhet och ovisshet. Det behövs en europeisk ramlagstiftning för hantering av orättvis sysselsättning, utnyttjande på arbetsmarknaden och förhållanden med skenbar anställning. Alla arbetstagare i alla regioner förtjänar tillgång till ett anständigt arbete som ger dem och deras familjer möjligheten till ett anständigt liv. Under tiden är det sociala Europa paralyserat. Den senaste gemenskapslagstiftningen på det sociala området antogs för mer än tre år sedan. Kommissionens brist på ambition speglar dess eget obalanserade politiska perspektiv. Bättre lagstiftning innebär ingen lagstiftning på det sociala området, men speglar dessutom de dåliga utsikterna för alla slags förslag inom rådet (sysselsättning). Arbetsmarknadsministrarna måste börja spela en positiv roll, och de kan börja med att uträtta någonting positivt på områdena för arbetstider och personaluthyrningsföretag. I Lissabonmålen utlovades fler och mer kvalificerade arbeten. Vad har gjorts för att detta löfte ska uppfyllas gentemot människor som arbetar? Mycket lite. Mitt meddelande till såväl kommissionen som rådet är följaktligen detta: låt oss upphöra med retorik och börja leverera."@sv²¹
