"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution because we must not forget our first objective: the Europe 2020 strategy. We must support entrepreneurship, the creation of new companies and self-employment as tools that can create new jobs, particularly in view of the fact that in the Union small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and micro-enterprises provide over two thirds of private sector jobs. This is the path to take, even if it is an uphill one. I therefore welcome the labour market monitoring system and individual tracking scheme for countries that do not comply with country-specific recommendations. We very much hope for a ‘European Investment Pact’ from the Heads of State or Government, which could be an important element in shifting the one-sided fiscal austerity approach towards a more balanced one, and could represent a new impetus to push Europe out of the crisis. One example is the Energy Efficiency Directive, which could create 2 million jobs. Finally we cannot congratulate ourselves on the proposal to reduce the tax wedge on labour in a budgetary-neutral way because the tax wedge between what it costs for an employer to hire an employee and the worker’s real pay is often above 40% in the EU."@en1
