"Madam President, the continuing global crisis is having a hard impact on the economy, the financial system, and particularly the social situation in the EU. The numbers speak for themselves. Since the crisis erupted in 2008, it has cost the Union more than 5.5 million jobs. This represents millions of our fellow citizens from EU Member States who are unemployed. However, the report on this programme unfortunately includes a number of very problematic points. It is a pity that the right are exploiting the crisis to promote the idea of the kind of labour market flexibility they want to introduce, without simultaneously adopting and strengthening the social protection systems negotiated with the social partners in the tripartite dialogue. The programme tries to weaken tripartite relations and advocates reforms and forms of employment law relationships that are not covered by rights. There are also shortcomings in the programme in the area of active measures, Commissioner. Reductions in unemployment benefits, the privatisation of pension systems, the lack of investment in public education systems and also the lack of green investments are all problems which make the programme hard to swallow in such a form. I therefore hope that we will be able to find a compromise that will ensure the resolution of a critical situation in such a way that the employment position in the EU will improve without cutting the social standards we have achieved in Europe over recent decades."@en1
