I voted in favour of this report on the Commission's communication on the progress made by the candidate countries in relation to their respective employment policies. Its aim is to ensure that the candidate countries define employment policies which prepare them for EU membership.
As we know, employment, employment policies and their coordination constitute one of the main challenges facing the EU today. Above all, it is one of the demands of the people of Europe. The Lisbon strategy, indeed, defined the challenge of creating more and better jobs as essential to promoting truly humane progress, concerned not only with questions of economic growth, but also with the individual fulfilment of its citizens.
Among the central messages of the European Commission’s communication, I would emphasise those which lay particular emphasis on the strategic significance of education and training, from basic level up to the increasingly important lifelong learning. Lastly, I would also like to mention the importance attached to special programmes on equal treatment for disabled people and provisions to promote equal opportunities. These measures make it possible to reconcile family life with a professional career."@en1
