"Madam President, when we talk about the new skills, new jobs agenda, the opposite agenda instantly springs to mind: old skills, no jobs. That, too, is important.
Ms Bastos is my friend, I love her dearly and she has prepared an excellent report. It was a difficult report because, when we prepare a report in the European Parliament, we do not prepare it
in a test tube. We prepare our reports
in life, and life is proving rather difficult at the moment. We are in an economic crisis and we are in recession. Ms Bastos has to take account of this very difficult situation and to produce a very specific report that speaks about the future and that sees into the future.
She is being called upon to be ‘politically short-sighted’ but not to be ‘long-sighted’. How will she manage? We socialists shall help her, because we want flexibility, but we want it alongside security. If there is no security, that means that we are politically both ‘short-sighted and long-sighted’ at the same time, which will rob Europe of its future.
That is why we need to bear in mind that workers’ rights are sacred. That is precisely why the European Union and the European institutions cannot ask the Member States which are currently hard hit, such as Greece, to abolish collective agreements."@en1
