lpv:translated text	"Mr President, quite a few speakers have already today pointed out that, in many countries, unemployment has taken a turn for the worse and is rising. That is due to the generally poor economic situation, but also to the fact that insufficient efforts are being made to promote adaptability in the labour market. Moreover, the demands for adaptability will not lessen over the next few years. Training has an important role to play in this process, and I should like today to call for employment policy also to be seen in the context of the initiatives launched jointly by the EU’s education ministers with a view to improving the quality of training schemes through their open coordination. This will be of great importance to our longer-term competitiveness. A report, summarising the situation, will of course be produced by the autumn and debated at the Spring Summit in 2004. We are all agreed that the objective is full employment and that this objective cannot be achieved without a basically sound economy, healthy public finances, a promising investment climate and keen competitiveness – all key elements when the idea is to create jobs. There is nothing contradictory about this, as parts of this Parliament perhaps appear to believe. I think that the Council has done a good piece of work in simplifying the employment guidelines. There was a need for this. Many of the guidelines were cobbled together without a thought for what they really needed to contain, which simply means that, in the case of many of the guidelines, the whole process has become less comprehensible and more perfunctory. I should therefore like to have seen Parliament be more sparing with the welter of amendments, even though our rapporteur has made great efforts to boil matters down to something comprehensible. The more guidelines that are crammed into employment policy, the greater the risk of their being viewed as immaterial. We need to focus on the objective: more employment and more jobs in Europe."@en1
