"The current economic and financial crisis has led to the closure of a number of businesses and consequently thousands of European citizens have lost their jobs. This social scourge has worsened lately and, however much help the Member States provide, it always ends up not being enough given the lack of career opportunities to deal with this scourge. I support this report as I believe that social investments should be a key part of the economic and employment policies of the European Union and the Member States in the face of the crisis. I agree with the rapporteur and urge the Member States to consider signing a ‘Social Investment Pact’, which can serve as a basis for the creation of a reinforced control mechanism to improve efforts to meet the employment, social and education targets of the Europe 2020 strategy. Lastly, I support facilitating social entrepreneurship projects and access to microfinance for vulnerable groups and those furthest away from the labour market. These are some of the measures that will enable new jobs to be created that are sustainable and thus able to ride out the constant ebb and flow of economic cycles."@en1
