lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like, first of all, to thank the Commission for having proposed a clearly defined strategy in the field of lifelong learning, as well as the rapporteur, Mrs Van Brempt. We had great expectations for this communication because we all knew that the Member States had made almost no progress in the field since the Lisbon Council. If we genuinely wish to create a Europe of knowledge by encouraging equal opportunities, it is crucial to offer every citizen of the Union equal access to education and to lifelong learning. With a view to the translation of this strategy into practical action, I shall focus on a number of points. First of all, we must make efforts in the area of the recognition and transferability of learning and qualifications by making use of already existing networks or by creating new ones. Secondly, access to lifelong learning must be provided for all employees and for jobseekers. It therefore falls to the Commission to promote all Member State initiatives in this area and, wherever possible, to propose specific programmes designed, for example, for jobseekers or for young people without qualifications. Thirdly, it is crucial to agree on a target for annual expenditure in the field of education and lifelong learning and to provide fiscal or other incentives to encourage investment by employers and individual citizens. Finally, I wish to focus on the European dimension of education and training, which requires mastery of a second language. All the institutions and the Member States must pursue their efforts in this field so that there is a proper follow-up to the European Year of Languages. The European area of education and lifelong learning is a huge workshop and we must establish it without delay to enable all of our fellow citizens to benefit more from this right to learn."@en1
