"One of the main objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy is to achieve a 75% employment rate among people aged 20-64 years by 2020. Unemployment in the EU is at historic highs. Almost 24.5 million people are out of work. This is more than 10% of the economically active population. National governments must take measures to boost economic growth, create new jobs and maintain sound public finances. The EU must be equipped with a broader and more effective set of policy instruments to ensure its future prosperity and a high standard of living for its population. The economic recovery plan implemented in 2008 helped to mitigate the shocks caused by the economic downturn in our economies. Coordinated support was provided to the Member States that needed it, and measures were also put in place to protect the stability of the economic and monetary union. I firmly believe that the EU needs a well-defined policy approach that will promote economic recovery, restore the health of public finances and, above all, actively promote sustainable growth and jobs. In the effort to escape the crisis, however, job creation is one of the most pressing problems. It is certainly our duty to promote employment and help people find work, as is strengthening the coordination of our economic policies, which are absolutely essential for the new sustainable growth programme."@en1
