"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, against the backdrop of the current economic and financial crisis, this G20 summit forces us to conclude that the first objective that we must achieve is that of making workers more employable.
This is a necessity, because there can be no social integration without integration via the workplace. Therefore, today, as we prepare for this G20, the only motto and the only objective that we can share is that of combating unemployment.
As you said just now, Commissioner, unemployment has risen significantly in the European Union and the world, but it is quite clear that inequalities are increasing and that they are increasing even more sharply among young people, temporary workers, migrants and women.
Thus, when we see today that 21.4% of young people are unemployed, compared with the 14.7% – an already substantial percentage – that were unemployed two years ago, the speed of the increase is very worrying.
We therefore need to build together, within European and globally – since the response can only be global – convergence and integration strategies that explicitly recognise the fact that dynamic social and cohesion policies are the foundations for the development of our society.
I would also like to remind you of the World Trade Organisation’s Global Jobs Pact, which offers an appropriate series of strategic options to enable us to emerge from the crisis.
Where do we stand with regard to the European Commission’s proposal to base the framework of the new post-2010 strategy on the social market economy, integration and transparency?
I hope that our European ministers for labour and employment do not forget, during this summit, that they will have to account for the rise in unemployment to all the millions of people who, one after another, have lost their jobs in recent months.
Commissioner Andor, the European Union therefore expects you to act so that we can reassure our fellow citizens and get them back into work."@en1
