Amendment 123 #
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) In order to ensure that the employment policy guidelines are implemented in the Member States, the open method of coordination should be improved as its impact in the Member States is too small.
Amendment 174 #
Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 2
Member States should step up social dialogue and tackle labour market segmentation with measures addressing temporary and precarious employment, underemployment and undeclared work. In order to safeguard workers’ fundamental rights and social guarantees and to prevent their being exploited on the labour market, workers must be employed legally on the basis of a work contract and in compliance with all the legal standards laid down by legislation. The Member States must ensure that a transparent labour market is made a reality throughout the European Union. Professional mobility should be rewarded. The quality of jobs and employment conditions should be addressed by fighting low-wages and by ensuring adequate social security also for those on fixed contracts and the self-employed. Employment services should be strengthened and open to all, including young people and those threatened by unemployment with personalised services targeting those furthest away from the labour market.
