"One of the targets of the Europe 2020 strategy is to raise the employment rate among people aged 20-64 to 75%. Another is to fight poverty, which is intended to improve the situation of 20 million people. These effects are much to be desired and very ambitious. Our objective is a modernised labour market with a highly specialised, precisely oriented and very efficient workforce. However, I think this will be difficult to achieve. At present, 15% of young people do not complete a full secondary education. Over 30% complete tertiary education but, in spite of this, do not find work because the qualifications they have gained do not meet the needs of the market. The lifelong learning programme does not take account of the particular situation of people who do not possess a university education. If, however, we are talking about the phenomenon of poverty, the same social groups are most at risk from it: the unemployed, the poorly educated and the elderly. Such high unemployment is undoubtedly an effect of the crisis, which has caused, among other things, a drop in industrial production to the level of 20 years ago. I support the Commission in its consistent efforts towards making the EU economy competitive in relation to the United States and Japan, but I suggest a more realistic approach in the exceptionally difficult financial situation."@en1
