"Mr President, I too would like to join my colleagues in thanking Mrs Jensen for her report and congratulating her on it.
In the limited time that is available it is important that, as a number of speakers have already touched upon a number of disadvantaged groups or groups who are not doing so well in employment areas, we consider a number of aspects, the three most important ones being: equality of opportunity, equality of access and equality of training. Equality of opportunity must mean that all jobs, all services that are available, are open to all equally. Equality of access means that there should be no physical impediment towards people accessing training or employment opportunities. Equality of education means that people must have the skills that are required for the jobs that are going to be available.
We have moved from a time when there was heavy industrialised and intensive labour areas of industry, to other smaller networks, smaller cooperation. We need to look more towards giving the skills and training to young people, middle-aged people, elderly people and those living in urban and rural areas to guarantee that they have equality of access to that training and new jobs.
The national action plans on employment, under the Luxembourg process, are very useful to us in ensuring that we use the carrot and stick with the Member States. We can give extra resources where they are providing good jobs and meeting their targets and we can take them back when they are not doing it."@en1
