lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to make a few short remarks in connection to what Mrs Lambert said. The fact that Commissioner Vitorino is here rather than Commissioner Diamantopoulou is due to the fact that Commissioner Diamantopoulou is attending a meeting of the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council. That is a good thing, too, as we are voting today, and it is very good to hear that the things which we have already decided in the Committee, and which we hope to have adopted today and here I back the appeal by Mr Hughes to the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats are being discussed there so that we can reach further decisions. I should like to call for a number of things. First of all, I think that the general mainstreaming we are calling for is very important, and that this could in fact be extended still further, because I think that the whole equality arm, as it appeared previously in the European Employment Strategy, should still be formulated as a kind of objective. I would also call for the development of two action plans. The first is an action plan against unemployment. Everyone knows what the problem is: unemployment is on the increase, and the recession is growing rapidly and is also set to last a long time – and something must be done about this. There is no balance between the long-term strategy of increasing employment participation, for example, and the short-term strategy in a number of other spheres. The second action plan is an action plan for improving quality at work and increasing productivity. Modernisation of work organisation, in particular, is urgently required. By way of conclusion, I think that it is important that we take the local and regional approaches and the involvement of national parliaments very seriously."@en1
