Bringing together citizens in town-twinning projects or networks of towns and supporting civil society organisations in the areas covered by the programme will contribute to increase citizens' awareness and active engagement in society and ultimately their involvement in the democratic and social life of the Union, strengthening social inclusion and fighting marginalization. At the same time supporting activities promoting mutual understanding, diversity, dialogue and respect for others fosters a sense of belonging and a European identity, based on a shared understanding of European values, culture, history and heritage. The promotion of a greater sense of belonging to the Union and of Union values is particularly important amongst citizens of the EU outermost regions due to their remoteness and distance from continental Europe.

(11) Non-discrimination is a fundamental principle of the Union. Article 19 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for action to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Non- discrimination is also enshrined in Article 21 of the Charter. The specific features of the diverse forms of discrimination should be taken into account and appropriate action should be developed in parallel to prevent and combat discrimination on one or more grounds. The Programme should support actions to prevent and combat discrimination, racism, xenophobia, anti- gypsyism, anti-semitism, anti-muslim hatred, afrophobia and other forms of intolerance based on any other ground as well as recognising the fundamental rights of all persons to be treated with dignity. In that context, particular attention should also be devoted to preventing and combating all forms of violence, hatred, segregation and stigmatisation, as well as combating bullying, harassment and intolerant treatment. The Programme should be implemented in a mutually reinforcing manner with other Union activities that have the same objectives, in particular with those referred to in the Commission Communication of 5 April 2011 entitled ‘An EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 202010 ’ and in the Council Recommendation of 09 December 2013 on effective Roma integration measures in the Member States11 ~~. __________________ 10 11~~.

As reflected in the European Parliament Resolution of 18 April 2018, adequate financial support is key to the development of a conducive and sustainable environment for civil society organisations to strengthen their role and perform their functions independently and effectively. Complementing efforts at national level, EU funding should therefore contribute to support, empower and build the capacity of independent civil society organisations active in the promotion of human rights whose activities help the strategic enforcement of rights under EU law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, including through advocacy and watchdog activities, as well as to promote, safeguard and raise awareness of the Union’s common values at local, regional and national level.

(24) The types of financing and the methods of implementation under this Regulation should be chosen on the basis of their ability to achieve the specific objectives of the actions and to deliver results, taking into account, in particular, the costs of controls, the administrative burden, and the expected risk of non- compliance. This should include consideration of the use of lump sums, flat rates ~~and~~, unit costs, as well as financing not linked to costs as referred to in Article 125(1) of the Financial Regulation. In order to facilitate participation to the Programme, including by small organizations, assistance should be ensured and any unnecessary administrative burden eliminated.

The central employment services of Member States working with one another ~~and with the Commission. The European network of employment services~~, the social partners and the Commission should cooperate closely. The European network of employment services, with the involvement of the social partners, should promote a better functioning of the labour markets by facilitating the cross-border mobility of workers under fair conditions and a greater transparency of information on the labour markets. The ESF+ scope ~~also~~ includes developing and supporting targeted mobility schemes with a view to filling high-quality vacancies where labour market shortcomings have been identified. ESF+ also covers cross-border partnerships between regional public employment services and the social partners and the work done in the context of those partnerships to foster voluntary, fair mobility and the transparency and integration of cross-border labour markets, through the provision of information, advice and employment services. In many border regions these partnerships play an important role in the development of a genuinely European labour market.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)

(10a) A broad debate involving social partners, Member States, training institutions and other stakeholders is necessary to investigate the possibility of creating a voluntary system of harmonised certificates going beyond the STCW in the level of training, in order to increase the competitive advantage of European seafarers. Such a STCW+ could establish “maritime certificates of excellence” based on European maritime postgraduate courses, which would provide European seafarers with skills above and beyond those required at international level. The courses would allow staying abreast of the fast-changing technology in the sector, such as shipboard technology and shore based support systems.
