Pending the opinion of the European Parliament, the Council discussed the proposal for a decision on Community activities of analysis, research and cooperation in the field of employment for the period 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2000. The objective of the Decision is the renewal and rationalisation of Community activities in the fields concerned, taking into account experience gained from earlier programmes. Specifically the action aims at: - fostering cooperation in analysis, research and monitoring; - promoting the identification of, exchanges of information and experience on, and the transfer of best practices; - developing an active information policy. After the discussion the Council instructed the Permanent Representatives Committee to continue its work with a view to the text being adopted during the next six months.
In its Opinion the Committee welcomed the Commission’s proposal for the implementation of the ESSEN programme and hoped that emphasis would be placed on policies implemented at local and regional level. It proposed that the Commission should establish direct contact with local and regional bodies for the purpose of carrying out practical cooperation projects of an innovative nature. It regretted, however, that the proposed financial framework was out of all proportion to the size of the problem. It assumed that the proposed systems for data collection, exchange of information and employment studies would be rooted in regional and local patterns and trends. It hoped that Commission support for employment creation would not be confined to methodological and technical assistance, but would be expanded to include support for the financing of innovative schemes managed at local and regional level. As regards coordination with other policies and programmes, the Committee proposed that the Commission should disseminate the action plan widely so that the local and regional bodies working with the Structural Fund programmes could also take into account the activities to be pursued in connection with the Essen programme.
The Opinion contained a number of general considerations, which emphasised that employment was a major challenge for the European Union. Recalling the main areas of Community action in this field and the previous work of the ESC on employment and unemployment, the Opinion set out a number of specific comments on the following issues: - the usefulness of the measures proposed by the Commission to apply the Essen decisions with a view to understanding the employment crisis and its causes; - the importance of ensuring workers had access to further training; - the role of the social partners in setting priorities among the measures envisaged by the Commission; - the need to pay special attention to the situation of the groups worst hit by unemployment; - employment and the Intergovernmental Conference.
