Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. WelcomNotes the fact that, with effect from 20141, Regulation 1303/20131/EU contains new elements intended to help the disadvantaged: it makes it compulsory to dismantle institutions with large staff complements, and, in promoting social inclusion and combating poverty and all forms of discrimination, to switch from institutional services to community-based services, and incorporated marginalised communities, which may face growing challenges and increasingly lag behind other groups in a knowledge-based society, particularly in relation to education and training; notes furthermore that, in order to create appropriate forms of social inclusion, it is necessary to remove the causes of exclusion, such as the high rates of unemployment which cause poverty at every level, early school- leaving, and loss of skills which are needed to cope with the challenges presented by a constantly evolving labour market, which, in combination, do not permit cohesion of marginalised communities; __________________ 1 Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006.

Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Draws the attention of Member States and the Commission to the fact that after 2020, even though there will be fewer and fewer people of working age, active inclusion policies will nonetheless be needed for these people and there will be ever greater competition for jobs, while the private sector will provide fewer and fewer jobs for those who are currently relatively low-skilled, which will require a new approach and not only long-term strategies but also short-term measures, such as forms of income support to prevent social exclusion of the most vulnerable groups, to facilitate relations between school, university and undertakings and to prevent permanent unemployment and a lasting increase in it, inter alia because of the high level of youth unemployment;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out to the Commission that the services sector will undergo a significant transformation in the near future, primarily as a result of accelerating automation, but also because of the wider use of online tools and solutions, so that even jobs in which medium-skilled labour is employed will come under pressure, where at present people from marginalised groups find work; ; services, on the other hand, in seeking to provide appropriate forms of support, must retain their public connotation and be accessible for all, particularly the most vulnerable people; even jobs in which medium-skilled labour is employed will come under pressure, where at present people from marginalised groups find work, and it will therefore be necessary to provide increasing resources for training; where changes in forms of employment require retraining to develop new skills, everybody must be guaranteed the opportunities afforded by such education and training instruments, and access to them, with particular reference to marginalised groups;

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on Member States, while budgeting prudently and ensuring macroeconomic balanceand microeconomic balance, taking particular account of the social impact of economic measures, to provide more funding and to take effective, focused measures to ensure that disparities in development within geographical regions are not passed on in the form of social inequalities and inequalities of opportunity which already manifest themselves at the free primary and secondary education levels; nor should this be allowed to happen at later stages either, which must retain a connotation of quality and accessibility for all; nor should this be allowed to happen at later stages either; calls, therefore, for the use of funds to be monitored constantly in order to ensure that it is efficient, useful and produces good results.
