13 amendments...
Amendment 7 #
Proposal for a decision Title 1 – title Proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the European Year for Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity (2012) (text with EEA relevance)
Amendment 8 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The part of the population of the European Union comprised of persons over the age of 50 will increase at a much faster rate than ever before. The largest increase is expected to occur during the period 2015-2035, when the population aged 60 and over will be increasing by 2 million people per year. This increase is very positive, as it is a logical consequence of improvements in health care and quality of life. Nevertheless, owing to the reality of demographic change, the EU faces a number of challenges such as a shrinking population and the unattractive nature of certain areas.

Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 (15) Active ageing is targeted by several Union programmes, such as the European Social Fund, the European Regional and Development Fund, the PROGRESS programme, the Life Long Learning Programme, the Public Health Programme, the specific programmes on information and communication technologies and on socio-economic sciences and humanities in the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development, the Action Plan on ‘Ageing well in the information society’, the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Joint Programme for research and innovation, the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme with pilot deployment projects on ICT for Ageing Well and the Action Plan on urban mobility. Union co-financing of European Year activities will be in accordance with the priorities and rules applying, on an annual or multi-annual basis, to existing programmes and autonomous budget lines in the field of employment, social affairs and equal opportunities. Where appropriate, programmes and policies in other fields, such as education and culture, health, research, the information society, regional policy and transport policy, may support the European Year. In various sectors, therefore, the European Year will also afford an opportunity to raise public awareness and mobilise stakeholders to combat social exclusion, financial security and poverty among older people, inter alia as part of the Europe 2020 Strategy flagship initiative on a ‘European Platform against Poverty’.

Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.1 – paragraph 3 A genuine change in our innovation systems and paradigms is therefore necessary, which requires the adoption of new principles and practices based, in particular, on open and inclusive research and on the development of tools for managing intellectual property rights which promote transparency and exchange, and the development of new financing tools to ensure that research efforts are targeted, effectively and as a matter of priority, at issues of major public interest. Still too often, excellence in higher education, research and innovation, while clearly existing across the EU, remains fragmented. Europe needs to overcome this lack of strategic co- operation across boundaries – countries, sectors and disciplines. Moreover, Europe needs to embrace a true entrepreneurial culture, which is essential for capturing the value of research and innovation, for setting-up new ventures and actual market deployment of innovations in potential high-growth sectors. Europe needs to foster the role of higher education institutions as engines of innovation, as talented people need to be equipped with the right skills, knowledge and attitudes in order to drive innovation forward.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.1 – paragraph 4 The EIT has been set up precisely to this end – to contribute to sustainable economic growth and competitiveness by reinforcing the innovation capacity of the Union and its Member States. By fully integrating the knowledge triangle of higher education, research and innovation, the Institute will strongly contribute to tackling societal challenges under Horizon 2020 and bring about systemic change in the way European innovation players collaborate to promote open and inclusive models.
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.2 – paragraph 1 – bullet point 1 Overcoming fragmentation via long-term integrated partnerships and achieving critical mass through its European dimension: Building on existing cooperation initiatives, the EIT brings the selected partnerships in the KICs to a more permanent and strategic level. KICs allow world-class partners to unite in new configurations, optimi
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.2 – paragraph 1 – bullet point 2 Enhancing the impact of investments on education, research and innovation and testing new ways for innovation governance: The EIT acts as a catalyst, adding value to the existing research base, by accelerating the take-up and exploitation of technologies and research outcomes. Innovation activities contribute in turn to align and leverage research investments and to make education and training activities more responsive to business needs. To this end, the EIT has been equipped with a substantial degree of flexibility to test out new innovation models, allowing for true differentiation in the KICs' governance and funding models and quick adaptation to better cope with emerging opportunities. The EIT also has the potential to develop new financing models, such as innovation prizes, allowing to maximise the public returns of the financing of research, ensuring that innovation not only tackles the most urgent needs of society but also can benefit rapidly to European citizens.
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.3 – paragraph 2 The EIT will strongly contribute to the objectives set out in Horizon 2020, in particular by addressing societal challenges in a complementary way to other initiatives in these areas. Within Horizon 2020, the EIT will be part of the ‘tackling societal challenges’ objective but following the approach of seamless interaction across objectives, it will also contribute to ‘industrial leadership and competitive frameworks’ by stimulating results-driven research and fostering the creation of open and inclusive innovation models among high growth innovative SMEs. Finally, it will contribute to the creation of an ‘excellent science base’ by fostering mobility across boundaries – of disciplines, sectors and countries – and by embedding entrepreneurship and a risk-taking culture in innovative post-graduates degrees. The EIT will thereby significantly contribute to promoting the framework conditions that are needed to realise the innovative potential of EU research and to promote the completion of the European Research Area (ERA).
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.3 – paragraph 3 Moreover, the EIT brings a fully fledged education dimension to the EU's research and innovation policy, including through open access to research publications. Via innovative, entrepreneurial education it plays an important bridging role between the research and innovation framework and education policies and programmes and provides the long term commitment needed to deliver sustainable changes in higher education. Notably through new, trans and interdisciplinary EIT-labelled degrees the EIT is leading a collaborative effort towards education for innovation with clear spill over effects on the broader European agenda for the modernisation of higher education institutions thereby promoting the European Higher Education Area.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.3 – paragraph 5 Joint Programming Initiatives, a key instrument for addressing fragmentation in research, should provide the nucleus of the pan-European KIC research base. In turn, KICs can speed up and foster the exploitation of excellent public research pooled together by the JPIs, thereby addressing fragmentation in innovation. The Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) and the newly established Public and Private Partnerships provide platforms for promotion of large-scale industry-driven research and enhance the development of major technologies. The establishment of ‘patent pools’ in certain areas and open research will encourage the opening-up of research and act as a catalyst for efforts by both the public and private sectors (and by SMEs in particular). KICs can help in catalysing these major research investments to boost technology transfer and commercialisation and to develop new ventures within existing business via entrepreneurial talent. Through its knowledge triangle approach, the EIT will complement investment of the European Research Council (ERC) on world-class frontier research by addressing the whole innovation chain from ideas to application and exploitation and provide additional opportunities in innovation and exposure to entrepreneurship
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 1.3 – paragraph 5 a (new) The EIT should promote the development of new tools for information and transparency on intellectual property rights intended to provide both public and private research stakeholders (including SMEs) with information allowing them to engage in research and the application of inventions, the acquisition of industrial property rights and the exploitation of research on an informed basis. The measures to be taken include ensuring price transparency, developing methods for assessing the quality of intellectual property rights at European level and developing common benchmarks for transactions involving patents.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.1.1 – paragraph 3 A good balance between co-operation and competition is equally important for bringing KICs to maximum performance. The EIT will incentivize KICs to engage in cross-KIC work in areas which offer a strong potential for synergies, e.g. via joint professional development courses,
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.1.1 – paragraph 4 KICs not only build on their partners' existing excellent research base, but are also the front-runners for promoting and implementing the EIT's educational mission. The objective is to educate and train talented people with the skills, knowledge and mindset needed in a global knowledge economy. To this end, the EIT actively promotes, inter alia, the EIT- labelled degrees by monitoring their quality and coherent implementation across KICs. In this endeavour
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.1.2 – paragraph 4 The assessment of the themes proposed in the EIT draft as well as by the wider stakeholder community clearly showed a certain degree of variation regarding potential impact the establishment of a KIC would offer. As a result, a number of themes were discarded entirely; others were redefined in order to better respond to the specificities of the European and global context in this area. The regular assessment of the evolution of research potentials and the possible emergence of new innovation dynamics should be taken into consideration for future KICs in sectors that are not yet considered but fulfil the given criteria (as for instance in the maritime field).
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.1.2 – paragraph 5 – introductory part The following thematic areas have been identified as those where the establishment of a new KIC has greatest potential to add value to existing activities and bring about a real boost to innovation. However this list of areas is neither closed nor exhaustive:
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 1 In the initial period, the EIT has mainly focused its efforts on establishing the KICs. While it is a clear goal for the EIT to strengthen existing centres of excellence, the EIT will need to ensure it also delivers benefits to areas of the Union which are not directly participating in KICs. It is therefore mission critical for the EIT to actively promote the dissemination of good practices, such as open research and the open publication of results, for the integration of the knowledge triangle in order to develop a common innovation and knowledge sharing culture.
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 2 In the future, the EIT must work to make the KIC experience understandable and replicable and build it into a culture that can act as a role model in Europe and beyond. By identifying, analysing and sharing good practices, as well as new governance and funding models from the KICs, the EIT seeks to ensure that knowledge generated within the EIT and its KICs is disseminated and capitalised upon for the benefit of
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 4 Main drivers of learning at EIT level may be: innovation-driven research for the creation of new businesses and new business models,
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 7 Moreover, the EIT has a clear role to play in attracting talent from outside the EU. By creating a strong brand and forging strategic relations with key partners from around the globe, the EIT can add to the attractiveness of the partners within the KICs. In close cooperation with the KICs, the EIT should develop a strong international strategy, identifying and liaising relevant interlocutors and potential partners. In this context the EIT and its KICs should take full advantage of existing EU initiatives in the area, such as the
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 9 – bullet point 2 (inside the box) Set up/customise a web based tool to provide a platform for knowledge sharing and networking around the EIT, which will provide students, teachers and researchers who are not involved in existing KICs with easy access to information about ongoing work and the results of completed research.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 9 – bullet point 2 a (new) (inside the box) Develop tools to facilitate the identification of intellectual property rights involved in a field or in the context of research, as well as their acquisition, assignment or transmission as appropriate and depending on the needs of stakeholders.
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.2 – paragraph 9 – bullet point 4 (inside the box) Make lessons learned and successes from KICs systematically accessible to the wider EU innovation community and beyond. This
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.3 – paragraph 3 The KICs will provide an ideal testing ground for new approaches to funding and management of innovation. The establishment of innovation prizes associated with specific licensing arrangements can accelerate research in areas of key social importance with a view to obtaining precise scientific and technical answers at short notice. Through KICs' experimentation and experience, the EIT will deliver a simplification agenda in key areas such as contractual agreements, simplified reporting, lump
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a decision Annex – point 3.2 – paragraph 2 Moving away from a merely administrator role, the EIT headquarters will optimise their operational functions to steer the KICs to maximum performance and make good results widely available. There are efficiency gains to be achieved from providing a number of centralised services and functions, rather than at individual KIC level. While all KICs work on specific themes, a number of elements are of a cross-cutting nature and it is precisely there where the EIT can provide tangible added value. Such knowledge provider functions can relate notably to the EIT headquarters becoming an information broker and resourceful interlocutor, e.g. in fostering cross-KIC exchange

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) The Union is committed to achieving the Europe 2020 strategy, which has set the objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, highlighting the role of research and innovation as key drivers of social and economic prosperity and of environmental sustainability and setting itself the goal to increase spending on Research and Development to reach 3 % of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020 while developing an innovation intensity indicator. In this context, the Innovation Union flagship initiative sets out a strategic and integrated approach to research and innovation, setting the framework and objectives to which future Union research and innovation funding should contribute. Research and innovation are also key factors for other Europe 2020 flagship initiatives, notably on resource efficient Europe, an industrial policy for the globalisation era, and a digital agenda for Europe. Moreover, for achieving the Europe 2020 objectives relating to research and innovation, Cohesion policy has a key role to play through building capacity and developing new tools to provid
Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 a (new) (14a) Horizon 2020 should foster the development of new models for funding and disseminating academic and scientific publications, which are based on the production of papers by researchers and academics and unpaid peer validation of theories and results, in order to provide the broadest possible access to such publications.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) With the aim of deepening the relationship between science and society and reinforcing public confidence in science, Horizon 2020 should favour an informed engagement of citizens and civil society on research and innovation matters by promoting participatory research, science education, by making scientific knowledge and research data more accessible, by developing responsible research and innovation agendas that meet citizens' and civil society's concerns and expectations and by facilitating their participation in Horizon 2020 activities.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) Research and innovation activities supported by Horizon 2020 should respect fundamental ethical principles. The opinions of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies should be taken into account. Research activities should also take into account Article 13 TFEU and reduce the use of animals in research and testing, with a view ultimately to replacing animal use. All activities should be carried out ensuring a high level of human health protection in accordance with Article 168 TFEU. In accordance with ethical principles, including those laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, the results of all research involving human subjects – in particular clinical trials – must be made publicly available.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 12 – paragraph 1 1. For the implementation of Horizon 2020, account shall be taken of advice and inputs provided by: advisory groups of independent, high level experts set up by the Commission; dialogue structures created under international science and technology agreements; forward looking activities; targeted public consultations; and transparent and interactive processes that ensure responsible research and innovation is supported, in particular by facilitating the circulation and exploitation of knowledge and open online access to the data and results produced by research funded under Horizon 2020 and ensuring that the results of research involving human subjects are made publicly available.
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 16 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 Particular attention shall be paid to the principle of proportionality, the right to privacy, the right to the protection of personal data, the right to the physical and mental integrity of a person, the right to non-discrimination and the need to ensure high levels of human health protection and to make the results of research involving human subjects publicly available.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 22 – paragraph 3 a (new) Academic and scientific publications are a key research infrastructure component. They are a resource that plays a crucial role in the generation of new knowledge and innovation. It is therefore essential for research findings produced and validated as a result of work carried out by researchers in receipt of EU funding to be made available to the whole of the scientific community.
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – paragraph 15 All the activities shall take a challenge- based approach, focusing on policy priorities without predetermining the precise choice of technologies or solutions that should be developed. The emphasis shall be on bringing together a critical mass of resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and scientific disciplines in order to address the challenges. The activities shall cover the full cycle from research to market, with a new focus on innovation-related activities, such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, support for public procurement, design, end-user driven innovation, the use of innovative research funding tools, such as innovation awards, particularly in cases where the market fails to perform its proper function, securing the best possible social return on public investment, social innovation and market take-up of innovations.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – paragraph 16 Social sciences and humanities
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – paragraph 17 The specific objective ‘Inclusive, innovative and secure societies’ also includes an activity to close the research and innovation divide with specific measures to unlock excellence in less developed regions of the Union, requiring, in particular, the broadest possible access to scientific and academic publications and to research data in those regions.
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4 The necessary reform must start at the first stages of the researchers’ careers, during their doctoral studies or comparable post- graduate training. Europe must develop state-of-the-art, innovative training schemes, consistent with the highly competitive and increasingly inter- disciplinary requirements of research and innovation. Strong involvement of businesses, including SMEs and other socio-economic actors, will be needed to equip researchers with the innovation skills demanded by the jobs of tomorrow. It will also be important to enhance the mobility of these researchers, as it currently remains at too modest a level: in 2008, only 7 % of European doctoral candidates were trained in another Member State, whereas the target is 20 % by 2030. Accordingly, doctoral candidates in all fields must be clearly identified as one of the key target groups of the new programme for education, training, youth and sport, and care must be taken to ensure the necessary complementarity with Horizon 2020.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part I – point 3 – point 3.3 – point c – paragraph 2 Key activities shall be to support short- term exchanges of research and innovation staff among a partnership of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other socio-economic groups, both within Europe and worldwide. This will include fostering cooperation with third countries and, in particular, strengthening scientific partnerships between the two sides of the Mediterranean and making Euro- Mediterranean research, innovation and technological development programmes more effective.
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part I – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 4 a (new) Academic and scientific publications are a key research infrastructure component. They are a resource that plays a crucial role in the generation of new knowledge and innovation. It is therefore essential for research findings produced and validated as a result of work carried out by researchers in receipt of EU funding to be made available to the whole of the scientific community.
Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 4 Chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, diabetes, neurological and mental health disorders, overweight and obesity and various functional limitations are major causes of disability, ill-health and premature death, and present considerable social and economic costs. Innovative models for funding and disseminating the results of research work, such as innovation awards, are of essential importance in addressing these societal challenges and enabling the European research community to play an active and effective part in doing so.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.3 – paragraph 5 Specific activities shall include: understanding the determinants of health (including environmental and climate related factors), improving health promotion and disease prevention; understanding disease and improving diagnosis; developing effective screening programmes and improving the assessment of disease susceptibility; improving surveillance and preparedness; developing better preventive vaccines; using in-silico medicine for improving disease management and prediction; treating disease; transferring knowledge to clinical practice and scalable innovation actions; better use of health data; active ageing, independent and assisted living; individual empowerment for self-management of health; promotion of integrated care; improving scientific tools and methods to support policy making and regulatory needs; and optimising the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems and reducing inequalities by evidence based decision making and dissemination of best practice, and innovative technologies and approaches, in particular in relation to funding research and disseminating research results in order to share knowledge that will facilitate and speed up innovation in these areas.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – part III – point 6.3 – point 6.3.1 – paragraph 1 The aim is to enhance solidarity as well as social, economic and political inclusion and positive inter-cultural dynamics in Europe and with international partners, through cutting-edge science and interdisciplinarity, technological advances and organisational innovations. Humanities research can play an important role here, and must therefore be properly funded. Research shall support policymakers in designing policies that combat poverty and prevent the development of various forms of divisions, discriminations and inequalities in European societies, such as gender inequalities or digital or innovation divides, and with other world regions. It shall in particular feed into the implementation and the adaptation of the Europe 2020 strategy and the broad external action of the Union. Specific measures shall be taken to unlock excellence in less developed regions, thereby widening participation in Horizon 2020.

Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3 Particular attention will be paid to ensuring a broad approach to innovation, which is not only limited to the development of new products and services on the basis of scientific and technological breakthroughs, but which also incorporates aspects such as the use of existing technologies in novel applications, continuous improvement, non-technological and social innovation, and maximising the dissemination, accessibility, and use of the knowledge produced. Only a holistic approach to innovation can at the same time tackle societal challenges and give rise to new competitive businesses and industries.
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 1 – point 1.2 – paragraph 1 Social sciences and humanities research will be fully integrated into each of the general objectives of Horizon 2020. These fields constitute the foundation of the activities undertaken to tackle the whole range of challenges posed to the European Union from the point of view both of integration of citizens of all origins and of the access that citizens should have to education and social and cultural rights. This will include ample opportunities for supporting such research through the European Research Council, the Marie Curie actions or the Research Infrastructures specific objective.

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 3 – paragraph 2 Cross-cutting actions will be promoted between Part I ‘Excellent science’ and the societal challenges and the enabling and industrial technologies to develop jointly new knowledge, future and emerging technologies, research infrastructures and key competences. Research infrastructures will also be leveraged for broader usage in society, for example in public services, promotion of science, civil security and culture. Academic and scientific literature is, from that point of view, a key element of research infrastructures. It is therefore vital that research findings obtained and validated through the work of Union- funded researchers be made accessible to the scientific community as a whole. Furthermore, priority setting during implementation for the direct actions of the Joint Research Centre and the activities of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) will be adequately coordinated with the other parts of Horizon 2020.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2 This will be achieved in particular by structuring and raising excellence in a substantial share of the high-quality initial training of early stage researchers and doctoral candidates throughout Member states and associated countries. By equipping early stage researchers with a diversity of skills that will allow them to face current and future challenges, the next generation of researchers will benefit from enhanced career perspectives in both public and private sectors, thereby enhancing also the attraction of young people to research careers. Doctoral candidates must, in addition, be clearly identified as one of the key target groups of the new programme for education, training, youth, and sport, whose resources must be brought into a complementary relationship with Horizon 2020.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.9 – paragraph 1 Clinical trials are the means to transfer biomedical knowledge to application in patients and support for these will be provided, as well as for the improvement of their practice. Examples include the development of better methodologies to allow trials to focus on relevant population groups, including those suffering from other concomitant diseases and/or already undergoing treatment, the determination of comparative effectiveness of interventions and solutions, as well as enhancing the use of databases and electronic health records as data sources for trials and knowledge transfer. Similarly, support for the transfer of other types of interventions such as those related to independent living into real world environments will be provided. In keeping with ethical principles, and in particular the Helsinki Declaration, data obtained from any research activities conducted on human subjects must be made public.
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – part III – point 6 – point 6.1 – paragraph 2 In this context, the objective is to enhance social, economic and political inclusion, combat poverty, and enhance human rights, digital inclusiveness, equality, solidarity and inter-cultural dynamics by supporting interdisciplinary research, indicators, technological advances, organisational solutions and new forms of collaboration and co-creation. Research into open research methods should, moreover, serve to highlight the added value both from the point of view of effectiveness in terms of innovation and inventiveness and as regards maximising the participation of a wide range of actors in the innovation effort. Research and other activities shall support the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy as well as other relevant Union foreign policies. Humanities research may have an important role to play in this context. Specifying, monitoring and assessing the objectives of European strategies and policies will require focused research on high-quality statistical information systems, and the development of adapted instruments that allow policy- makers to assess the impact and effectiveness of envisaged measures, in particular in favour of social inclusion.

2012/2131(INI) Integration of migrants, its effects on the labour market and the external dimension of social security coordination
2012/12/11
EMPL
4 amendments...
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas the factors that could make Europe attractive include an active approach to employment, the prospect of real integration, and success in education and training for students from a migration background in the context of a ‘welcome culture’ minimising administrative barriers and a strong equality approach;
Amendment 62 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Notes that different actors in the integration process have different strengths; while government agencies can provide information for migrants on public services, local educational institutions can offer language courses and skills training, trade unions can provide complementary information and support concerning employment conditions, while recruitment agencies often play a vital role in providing information during the pre-departure stage. Employers' associations can bring companies together to pool resources, and help with the induction process, while community and migrant associations play a key role as access points to the local community beyond the workplace. Given these different resources, the added-value of such an integrated approach, bringing all these actors to work together to provide a comprehensive set of services for migrant workers is clear;
Amendment 123 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Asks that migrants should have easier access to the labour market and that they should be able to rely on the quick and inexpensive recognition and validation of their diplomas, qualifications and skills and an effective skills evaluation in case of absence of documents for asylum seekers and those with international protection;
Amendment 188 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 26 26. Points out that, even though the adoption of Regulation (EU) No. 1231/2010 allowed rights provided under Regulation (EC) No. 883/2004 to be extended to third-country nationals, these rights can be claimed only in the case of cross-border activity within the EU, which means that most third-country nationals are excluded; expects that measures relating to access to social security already included in EU legislation, such as the Single Permit Directive will be implemented fully;
