"In line with the subsidiarity principle, the responsibility for tourism lies with the Member States. That is how it should continue to be.
Tourism should develop on a sustainable basis. It should contribute to balanced regional planning without damaging the environment, promote and derive greater benefit from cultural diversity and historical heritage, and encourage regional and local authorities, stakeholders and populations to become involved.
If we are to meet the pressing need to combat the growing problem of precarious work and exploitation affecting workers in the sector, work must be appreciated, decent wages must be paid, the security and stability of working arrangements must be guaranteed and vocational training must be provided.
We object to certain aspects of the report before us, and feel that other areas have not been given due prominence. We therefore tabled amendments aimed at reaffirming tourism’s role in economic and social cohesion, its connection with the reality on the ground, the need to guarantee high-quality jobs and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
We feel that the absence of a specific legal basis in the Treaties has not stopped specific measures and programmes geared towards promoting tourism at Community level in the past. Hence our proposal to create a Community programme for the sector, to complement the measures put in place by the Member States.
Tourism is an important sector with huge potential which can offer added value to a country and fully develop its production capacities."@en1
