2010/0115(NLE) Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States. Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines
2010/06/16
EMPL
11 amendments...
Amendment 37 #
Recital 5 (5) The Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs helped forge consensus around the broad direction of the EU’s economic and employment policies. Under the strategy, both broad economic policy guidelines and employment guidelines were adopted by the Council in 2005 and revised in 2008. The 24 guidelines laid the foundations for the national reform programmes, outlining the key macro-economic, micro-economic and labour market reform priorities for the EU as a whole. However, experience shows that the guidelines did not set clear enough priorities and that links between them could have been stronger. This limited their impact on national policy- making and, ultimately, the strategy's basic goals could not be achieved.
Amendment 44 #
Recital 6 (6) The financial and economic crisis that started in 2008 resulted in a significant loss in jobs and potential output and has led to a dramatic deterioration in public finances. The European Economic Recovery Plan has nevertheless helped Member States to deal with the crisis, partly through a coordinated fiscal stimulus, with the euro providing an anchor for macroeconomic stability. The crisis therefore showed that coordination of Union's policies can deliver significant results if it is strengthened and rendered effective. The crisis also underscored the close interdependence of the Member States’ economies and
Amendment 85 #
Recital 10 (10) Member States should also, through their reform programmes, aim at ‘sustainable growth’. Sustainable growth means building a resource-efficient, sustainable and competitive economy, a fair distribution of the cost and benefits and exploiting Europe’s leadership in the race to develop new processes and technologies, including green technologies. Member States should implement the necessary reforms to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and use resources efficiently. They should also improve the business environment, stimulate creation of
Amendment 90 #
Recital 11 (11) Member States’ reform programmes should also aim at ‘inclusive growth’. Inclusive growth means building a cohesive society in which people are empowered to anticipate and manage change, thus to actively participate in society and economy. Member States’ reforms should therefore ensure access and opportunities for all to acquire vocational skills and adjust to changes in the labour market throughout the lifecycle, thus reducing poverty and social exclusion, through removing barriers to labour market participation especially for women, older workers, young people, disabled and legal migrants. They should also make sure that the benefits of economic growth reach all citizens and all regions. Ensuring effective functioning of the labour markets through investing in successful transitions, appropriate skills development, with reference to demand on the labour market, rising job quality and fighting segmentation, structural unemployment and inactivity while ensuring adequate, sustainable social protection and active inclusion to reduce poverty should therefore be at the heart of Member States’ reform programmes.
Amendment 112 #
Recital 13 (13) The Europe 2020 strategy has to be underpinned by an integrated set of policies, which Member States should implement
Amendment 176 #
Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 2 Member States should step up social dialogue and tackle labour market segmentation with measures addressing temporary and precarious employment
Amendment 207 #
Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 4 The EU headline target, on the basis of which Member States will set their national targets, is of aiming to bring by 2020 to 75% the employment rate for women and men aged 20-64 including through
Amendment 240 #
Annex – Guideline 8 – paragraph 2 In cooperation with social partners and business, Member States should improve access to training, strengthen education and career guidance combined with systematic information on new job openings and opportunities, promotion of entrepreneurship and enhanced anticipation of skill needs. Investment in human resource development, up-skilling and participation in lifelong learning schemes should be promoted through joint financial contributions from governments, individuals and employers. To support young people and in particular those not in employment, education or training, Member States in cooperation with the social partners, should enact schemes to help recent graduates find initial employment or further education and training opportunities, including apprenticeships that are geared to acquiring vocational skills and afford job opportunities, and intervene rapidly when young people become unemployed. Regular monitoring of the performance of up-skilling and anticipation policies should help identify areas for improvement and increase the responsiveness of education and training systems to labour market needs. EU funds should be fully mobilised by Member States to support these objectives.
Amendment 260 #
Annex – Guideline 9 – paragraph 1 In order to ensure access to quality education and training for all and to improve educational outcomes, Member States should invest efficiently in education and training systems notably to raise the skill level of the EU's workforce, allowing it to meet the rapidly changing needs of modern labour markets. Action should cover all sectors (from early childhood education and schools through to higher education, vocational education and training, as well as adult training) taking also into account learning in informal and non-formal contexts. Special emphasis needs to be placed on the quality of education and, in the higher education sector, on gearing studies to labour market requirements, in order to curb graduate unemployment. Reforms should aim to ensure the acquisition of the key competencies that every individual needs for success in a knowledge-based economy, notably in terms of employability, further learning, or ICT skills. Steps should be taken to ensure learning mobility of young people and teachers becomes the norm. Member States should improve the openness and relevance of education and training systems, particularly by implementing national qualification frameworks enabling flexible learning pathways and by developing partnerships between the worlds of education/training and work. The teaching profession should be made more attractive. Higher education should become more open to non-traditional learners and participation in tertiary or equivalent education should be increased. With a view to reducing the number of young people not in employment, education, or training, Member States should take all necessary steps to prevent early school leaving.

The teaching profession should be made more attractive. Higher education should become more open to non-traditional learners
Amendment 284 #
Annex – Guideline 10 – paragraph 1 Member States’ efforts to reduce poverty should be aimed at promoting full participation in society and economy and extending employment opportunities, making full use of the European Social Fund. Efforts should also concentrate on ensuring equal opportunities, including through access to affordable, sustainable and high quality services and public services (including online services, in line with guideline 4) and in particular health care. Member States should put in place effective anti-discrimination measures. Equally, to fight social exclusion, empower people and promote labour market participation, social protection systems, lifelong learning and active inclusion policies should be enhanced to create opportunities at different stages of people’s lives and shield them from the risk of exclusion. It is particularly important to ensure equal access to education and equal opportunities for children from disadvantaged families, so as to guard against their social exclusion as adults. Social security and pension systems must be modernised to ensure that they can be fully deployed to ensure adequate income support and access to healthcare — thus providing social cohesion — whilst at the same time remaining financially sustainable. Benefit systems should focus on ensuring income security during transitions and reducing poverty, in particular among groups most at risk from social exclusion, such as one-

2010/0209(COD) Intra-corporate transfer: conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals
2011/06/28
EMPL
7 amendments...
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) Equal treatment should be granted under national law in respect of those branches of social security defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/04 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems. Since this Directive is without prejudice to provisions included in bilateral agreements, the social security rights enjoyed by third country national intra-corporate transferees on the basis of a bilateral agreement concluded between the Member State to which the person has been admitted and his or her country of origin could be strengthened compared to the social security rights which would be granted to the transferee under national law. This Directive should not confer more rights than those already provided for in existing Union legislation in the field of social security for third-country nationals who have cross-border interests between Member States. The provisions of this Directive should not apply to situations where a posted worker is covered by the social security legislation of a third country or pays contributions in a third country.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – point b (b) ‘intra-corporate transfer’ means the temporary secondment of a third-country national from an undertaking established outside the territory of a Member State and to which the third-country national is bound by a work contract or other form of employment, to an entity belonging to the undertaking or to the same group of undertakings which is established inside this territory;

2010/10/12
CULT
11 amendments...
Amendment 9 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Successive European Councils have recognised the need to tackle the effect of ageing populations on European social models. A key response to this rapid change in the age structure consists in promoting active ageing and thus ensuring that the baby boom cohorts, who are, on the whole, healthier and better educated than any such cohort before them, have good opportunities for employment and active participation in society. In particular, voluntary work by older people should be promoted as an activity that is beneficial both to society and to the individuals involved, drawing on the achievements of the European Year of Volunteering 2011.

Proposal for a decision Recital 8 (8) The Council adopted on 8 June 2009 Conclusions on ‘Equal opportunities for women and men: active and dignified ageing’, which recognises that, throughout the EU, older women and men face serious challenges as they seek to live active lives and to age with dignity, and proposes a number of measures to Member States and the Commission. The measures planned for older people should include cultural activities and activities to promote general well-being, with a view to shielding older people against social exclusion and loneliness by including and involving them.

Amendment 20 #
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, and in particular the Grundtvig 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.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – introductory part The overall purpose of the European Year shall be to encourage and support the efforts of Member States, their regional and local authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly growing population in their late 50s and above, thereby preserving solidarity between generations. Active ageing means creating better opportunities and working conditions for both paid and unpaid work to enable older workers to play their part in the labour market, combating social exclusion by fostering active participation in society, and encouraging healthy ageing. On this basis, the objectives shall be:
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – point 1 (1) to raise general awareness of the value of active ageing and combat negative stereotypes about old age in order to highlight the useful contribution older persons make to society and the economy, to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of older persons;

Amendment 291 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) As regards the supervision of cross- border banks active both inside and outside the Euro area the ECB should cooperate closely with the competent authorities of non participating Member States. As a competent authority the ECB should be subject to the related obligations to cooperate and exchange information under Union law and should participate fully in the colleges of supervisors. In addition, since the exercise of supervisory tasks by a European institution brings about clear benefits in terms of financial stability and sustainable market integration, Member States not participating in the common currency should therefore also have the possibility to participate in the new mechanism. However, it is a necessary pre- condition for an effective exercise of supervisory tasks, that supervisory decisions are implemented fully and without delay. Member States wishing to participate in the new mechanism should therefore undertake to ensure that their national competent authorities will abide by and adopt any measure in relation to credit institutions requested by the ECB. The ECB should be able to establish a close cooperation with the competent authorities of a Member State not participating in the common currency. It should be obliged to establish the cooperation where the conditions set out in this regulation are met. The conditions under which representatives of the competent authorities of the Member States which established a close co-operation take part to the activities of the Supervisory Board should
Amendment 318 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 (34) The conferral of supervisory tasks implies a significant responsibility for the ECB to safeguard financial stability in the Union, and to use its supervisory powers in the most effective and proportionate way.

The ECB should therefore be accountable for the exercise of these tasks towards the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers
Amendment 395 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 a (new) (47a) Whereas the pending financial crisis contributed immensely to the fragmentation of European financial markets, it is indispensable to enhance the common integrated financial framework. However, it should be borne in mind that the deepening of integration in the EMU cannot give rise to new, not outlined in the Treaties, convergence criteria, which can create additional barriers to entry for countries under a temporary derogation.
Amendment 396 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 b (new) (47b) Whereas, efforts to secure financial stability within the EU require a diversified approach to distinctive types of risks in different markets and considering that the economies of the Member States, including those in the EMU, remain heterogeneous and that economic cycles are not synchronized, it should be borne in mind that according to the ESRB Recommendation (ESRB/2011/3) and standard no. 138 of Basel III, effective response to the problems of macroeconomic imbalances necessitates the use of discretionary instruments at local level. Moreover, the scope to customize macroprudential instruments is of the utmost significance to the Member States remaining in the EMU, due to their inability to use macroeconomic automatic stabilizers, such as interest rate or exchange rate.
Amendment 406 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 This Regulation confers on the ECB specific tasks concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions, with a view to promoting the safety and soundness of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system within the EU and each Member State, with due regard for the unity and integrity of the internal market.

Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro. Other Member States may enter in a close cooperation with the ECB.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro. Other Member States may enter in a close cooperation with the ECB.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) Bearing in mind that the EBA, in works of which all Member States participate with equal rights, was established with an aim to develop the single rulebook and ensure the coherence of supervisory practices within the EU and given the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism with a leading role of the ECB, the EBA needs to be equipped with adequate instruments, which will enable it to efficiently perform its entrusted tasks concerning the integrity of the single market in the area of financial services.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In view of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB by Council Regulation (EU) No
Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In view of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB by Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation], EBA should be able to carry out its tasks also in relation to the ECB. In order to ensure that existing mechanisms for settlement of disagreements and actions in emergency situations remain effective, a specific procedure should be provided for. In particular, if the ECB does not comply with an action by EBA to settle a disagreement or to address an emergency situation, it should be required to explain its reasons. Additionally, to ensure the level playing field between the ECB and Member States out of the single supervisory mechanism, the same right should be granted to the national competent authorities. In that case, whenever based on requirements set out in directly applicable Union law EBA can adopt an individual decision addressed to the financial institution concerned, it should do so.
Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) The mandate of the EBA to settle disagreements, involving the ECB with regard to cases concerning prudential supervision, can be inferred from the fact that both the establishment of the EBA and the conferment of specific supervisory tasks on the ECB have been introduced through secondary law.
Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) In order to ensure that interests of all Member States are adequately taken into account and to allow for the proper functioning of the EBA with a view to maintain and deepen the internal market in the field of financial services, the voting modalities within the Board of Supervisors should be adapted

Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) Since the Member States which entered into close cooperation with the SSM are devoid of voting rights in the Governing Council of the ECB, which results in a lack of effective influence on the decision making process within the SSM, a special procedure for settlement of disagreements between the ECB and a competent authority of a Member State which has entered into close cooperation shall be established, which will compensate for the absence of forceful instruments to sway the decision making process taken within the SSM and at the same time, will safeguard the right to protect justified interests, in particular the stability of the local financial market. To that end, the EBA should be equipped with the ultimate authority to settle disagreements between the ECB and the competent authority of a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the SSM.
Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The composition of the Management Board should be balanced and proper representation of Member States participating in the SSM, remaining in the close cooperation, and not participating in the SSM should be ensured.
Amendment 153 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 a (new) (10 a) The revision of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 in light of the proposal for the SSM can distort the relatively good balance between euro and non-euro area countries which exists at the moment within the EBA. It can thus lead to a dominant position of the euro area when decisions on technical standards are made, which in turn would impact important financial sector regulations which concern the Union as a whole.

Amendment 34 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Notes that in the public sector, which is characterised by transparent and clear recruitment criteria and promotion terms, women are more likely to advance through different career levels and hold positions corresponding to their qualifications, while in the private sector this trend is reversed; in this regard stresses the need to introduce transparent rules for the selection and recruitment of employees in the private sector;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Points out that among women employed in the services sector there are more women who find employment in the social, care and telecommunications sectors, which tend to require lower qualifications, enjoy little social prestige and correspond to women’s traditional roles in society, while men dominate the most prestigious and lucrative sectors: finance and banking;

Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Notes that in relation to the growing trend of employing women in part-time work and employers’ preferences to invest in employees with permanent employment, women have clearly limited access to a wide range of training and retraining courses, which decreases their opportunities for professional development;
Amendment 90 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 a (new) 15a. Points out the limited opportunities women have to adapt to the requirements of labour markets in a modern, highly globalised world, in which a worker’s key attribute is mobility and ease of moving to take up positions outside of their place of residence, which in the case of women who are more involved in caring for children and the home is often impossible and does not allow them to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the labour market;
