(2) The ESF should improve employment opportunities, support the creation of sustainable and quality jobs, promote education and life- long learning and develop active inclusion policies in accordance with the tasks entrusted to the ESF by Article 162 of the Treaty, and thereby contribute to economic, social and territorial cohesion in accordance with Article 174 of the Treaty.

Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) The European Union is confronted with structural and demographic challenges arising from economic globalisation, technological change and an increasingly ageing workforce and growing skills and labour shortages in some sectors and regions. They have been compounded by the recent economic and financial crisis, which has resulted in increased levels of unemployment, hitting in particular young people and other vulnerable groups, such as migrants. The ESF should aim to promote and create employment and support labour mobility, invest in education, skills and life-long learning, promote social inclusion and combat poverty. In promoting the better functioning of labour markets by enhancing the transnational geographical mobility of workers, the ESF should, in particular,may support European Employment Services (EURES activities) in relation to recruitment and the related information, advice and guidance services at national and cross-border level. The European Commission should systematically monitor EURES activities and publish the results.

Recital 6
(6) At the same time, it is crucial to support the development and, competitiveness and pan- European mobility of European small and medium-sized enterprises and to ensure that people can adapt, through acquiring appropriate skills and through lifelong learning opportunities, to changing economic and social conditions as well as new challenges such as the shift to a knowledge-based economy, the digital agenda, and the transition to a low-carbon and more energy-efficient economy. By pursuing its primary thematic objectives, the ESF should contribute to addressing these challenges. In this context, the ESF should support the labour force transition towards greener skills and jobs, in particular in the energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable transport sectors, taking into account the Union's intention to increase the proportion of the EU budget that is related to climate mainstreaming to at least 20%, with contributions from different policy fields.

Recital 7
(7) The ESF should contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy, ensuring greater concentration of support on the priorities of the European Union. The ESF should in particular increase its support for the active fight against social exclusion and poverty, through a minimum ring-fenced allocation. According to the level of development of the supported regions, the choice and number of investment priorities for ESF support should also be limited.

Amendment 124 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Taking into account that social innovation is a subject of different programmes, measures should be put in place to avoid overlapping or double- financing of the same activities and initiatives. In addition, since some activities carried out under ESF under shared management partially overlap with those of the Programme for Social Change and Innovation, which is under direct management, measures should be put in place not to duplicate or double- finance activities falling under different management modes.
