". − I voted in favour of this report. It is essential to ensure an adequate employment rate in the future and improve the EU’s competitiveness, and social investments play an important role here. The economic and financial crisis affects not only the economy but also the employment rate and social investments in Europe. Until now, the proposed solutions have focused on short-term goals and ignored social and employment policy as a means of improving economic performance. In a situation where the EU unemployment rate exceeds 10 % and young people in particular are suffering the effects of unemployment, and where the number of working European citizens in relation to the number of citizens over 65 years of age has fallen critically, problems must be addressed through social investments. Preparing the whole of society to adjust to the changing economic environment must be the goal here. We should invest in people; the Member States should pay more attention to assisting the unemployed in every way, creating sustainable jobs, investing in education and reforming the pension systems. Furthermore, the Member States should sign the Social Investment Pact to ensure compliance with the approved Europe 2020 strategy."@en1
