". − Mr President, I will speak only briefly because I spoke at some length at the beginning of the debate. I will continue where the last speaker ended, especially because of the crisis.
We have to invest better and more in education and training. Not less, but better and more, which means efficiency, compatibility, relevance and so on, and then more again. That is the position of the Commission and, of course, I also feel it applies here.
The messages tonight about the mobility of a qualified labour force, lifelong learning, accumulation and transfer of knowledge, and a culture of quality are very important for our national education and training systems, and they should become a reality.
I just want to confirm that instruments which we adopt – you will vote tomorrow, I hope, on the compromise text or amendments tabled, which I confirm and welcome – make Europe more qualifications-friendly. That means more people-friendly or citizen-friendly, and that is something which we really need to share, maybe more than in the past. Through such instruments we can deliver better conditions for motivation, mobilisation for innovation and all these important objectives.
The Commission, under the Czech Presidency, will try to help organise conferences: the main launching conference for both instruments and then more specific conferences on further implementation. Maybe the two rapporteurs could help us or be with us at these events. Of course, implementation is the most important part ahead of us.
I also want to say, as many have said tonight: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – the European Year of Creativity and Innovation – 2009."@en1
