"Mr President, Commissioner, the Commission has produced a fine communication and rapporteur has done an excellent job! As we know, there is no doubting the importance of local labour markets, resources, institutions and authorities to harmonious and sustainable development. The local level does represent added value, but only if it is allowed to play an effective role in taking decisions that are normally taken at other levels; the local level must not be relegated to being an implementation zone, as unfortunately often happens.
The fact is that there is – and has been with every passing year – an increasing panoply of measures and specific projects to boost employment, which means that all policies functioning at local level, all the main players involved and all the local operators must be integrated without further delay. Local authorities, because they are the best placed to do so, can and must work as agents for development to encourage partnerships in the fields of tourism, culture, small-scale industry and the environment, participating in setting up joint companies and micro enterprises, involving young people, women and the unemployed. These are centres of excellence in the field of information, cooperation and training. I shall finish on this point: the bureaucracy of application procedures must be reduced and access to credit must be made easier."@en1
