"Mr President, this report is imbued with the spirit of the values which should govern a free labour market. But there is one big drawback: it is wrong to draw up such rules at EU level. It will then become part of the EU’s common regulatory system, the it will be enshrined in Holy Writ. The possibility of future reforms will disappear throughout Europe. If, in the 1970s, Germany and France had forced through a common employment policy for the Community, based on the political concepts which prevailed at the time, Europe’s economy would now be in decline. The current buzzword, flexicurity, recurs constantly in the report. That is because no common employment policy was formulated, which in turn is why Denmark was able to develop something which now looks very promising. The report would benefit by being reduced to a single sentence: ‘The European Parliament recommends that the Member States take a look at the Danish flexicurity model in order to see whether they have something to learn from it.’ Period."@en1
