"Madam President, I would like to thank Mr La Via for his report, but I think that employment should be one of Europe’s priorities.
I think that Europe must now make all of the necessary efforts to develop real social governance and that can be achieved through measures which favour social convergence and social cohesion.
The 2013 budget must support flagship initiatives, including the initiative in favour of innovation but, although the 2013 budget is the last budget in the current multiannual framework, it should not be limited to paying for programmes that are in the final stages of implementation. It should enable us to create an environment in which we can help young people who are looking for work and promote small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are the main job creators in Europe.
We must not wait until 2014 to continue combating unemployment and youth unemployment in particular. The European Social Fund (ESF), a key instrument for social policy, must be reassessed and reoriented. We must support the development of appropriate skills for sectors affected by labour shortages and we must therefore strengthen programmes such as PROGRESS, EURES and the Progress Microfinance Facility. Finally, innovative measures and measures in favour of social progress undertaken by companies, whether they are very small, medium or large, must absolutely receive financial support from the European Union."@en1
