"The report states that the Structural Funds, principally intended to promote regional development and the equality of men and women, still fall a long way short of what is needed. Its insistent demand for “the implementation of an integrated policy to promote women's interests" is laudable and highlights an important area in which we have fallen behind. We, too, consider that “the risk exists that economic and budgetary stability programmes could result in cutbacks in public investment, notably in transport infrastructure and R [amp] D in the less-favoured regions”.
The report does not follow its analysis through to its conclusion, however, and does not adequately break free of such restraint. On employment, for example, it invites the States to “continue with the employment policy process launched in Amsterdam” and makes the “national action plans for employment” its reference point. The latter, however, merely translate into operational terms the dogma of the necessary flexibility of labour markets and are in practice contrary to the fight against precariousness to which the rapporteur refers elsewhere. Since we are unwilling to lend our names to such a position, we have abstained."@en1
