lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would first like to thank Regina Bastos for the report. I hope that by tomorrow, we can have agreement on a number of improvements, which will enable the Socialists and Democrats Group to fully support this report. Employment growth is the most urgent need in Europe and must be built into our response to the banking and economic crisis. There seems to be a disconnection between the economic and social policies in Europe. On the one hand, we have the skills and jobs agenda and, on the other, austerity programmes which insist that Member States cut social support to the unemployed on the spurious grounds that the unemployed are being disincentivised to take up work. However, studies in Ireland have shown that the unemployed are better off financially if they can find even a minimum-wage job. The problem is that even low paid jobs are not available. The Troika reports that Ireland’s programme is on target, and I am often asked why there are no riots in Ireland. I could advance many reasons for this, but one of the most fundamental reasons is that the government has negotiated with the trade unions the reforms in the labour market and in the public services that are required. I would urge that we have some common sense. Flexicurity without security is a contradiction in terms and, if it is imposed, it will result only in deeper alienation. It will result in a deeply stagnant economy and higher levels of poverty. I believe we must ensure that, when we move forward, we do so on the basis of a broad consensus of labour and capital."@en1
