Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
2. Emphasises that the 2019 budget should contribute towards achieving the Europe 2020 targets in the social and employment area and the successful implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, particularly when it comes to combating youth and long-term unemployment, rising inequalities, social exclusion and poverty, in particular child poverty; stresses, in this regard, that the 2019 budget cannot be understood outside the context of the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework (MFF); highlights that programming funds in the social and employment area shall create synergies to help reduce social divergences and inequalities that have been exacerbated by the crisis; warns that any reductions in the budget for these areas will only create difficulties for these policies to be effective and reach their targets;

4.

Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
7. SRecalls that the EU is in a context of near-stagnation and insufficient wage growth and that both the Commission and the ECB recommend a general increase in wages and an improvement in the quality of employment; stresses, furthermore, that the budget lines supporting European social dialogue and measures for social partners are of prime importance when it comes to strengthening social partners’ involvement, for example in the European Semester and the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and thus regrets the decrease in payment appropriations (- 21.8%) proposed by the Commission as regards industrial relations and social dialogue; highlights that well functioning industrial relations systems have a positive impact in productivity, employment creation and maintenance, jobs quality and decent wages;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 9
9. Highlights the important contribution of the agencies in dealing with a wide range of employment and social issues; stresses, in this connection, that their tasks are growing constantly and that they must therefore be given the necessary resources to fulfill their tasks and ensure the best possible results in support of EU legislative and policy objectives; regrets, therefore, the proposed decrease in the funding of Cedefop (-5.8% in both committments and payments); reiterates its concern about the negative budgetary impact of the growing Irish country coefficient, which increasingly risks undermining the financial capability of Eurofound to deliver on its mandate; expects the Union institutions to take action to offset the effects, as expressed in Eurofound’s 2016 discharge report; emphasises the need for additional funding in order to maintain the level of research carried out by the agency, in particular to secure the work done on pan-European surveys;
