The recent Commission report presented to the Brussels European Council, concerning the state of implementation of the Lisbon Strategy, reveals alarming delays and gaps, both in terms of the transposition of the
in question, and of raising awareness among Member States of the need to meet the ambitious targets that have been set, especially on the theme of ‘more and better jobs’.
The increase in unemployment in Europe is certainly disappointing. The citizens of Europe as a whole, and those in Portugal in particular, demand more rigorous action from the European Union and the credibility of the process depends on reforms being stepped up at Member State level. It is essential that we improve the monitoring of national performance (...).
It is, therefore, an increasingly ‘urgent’ priority, as the Commission has, indeed, acknowledged, to make the entire European project more credible, and to act with greater determination. Priority must be given to helping young people enter the labour market and get their first job; to penalising fraud arising from the phenomenon of relocation; to preparing for technological and economic change, by exploiting new areas of work in the field of information technology; to taking practical steps to promote and encourage vocational training courses – including lifelong learning, by simplifying the procedures for access to funding; and to improving ways of disseminating best practice."@en1
