Fully including women to the labour market is a way to put an end to the demographic crisis. If we provide secure and
decent work, the means to reconcile work and family life and if we manage to include men more intensively in household
duties, then all studies show that women would be more willing to bear children.

Lena Kolarska-Bobińska (PPE), in writing. – The Euro 2020 Strategy is about economic growth and employment. We
must remember that a smart energy system is the future both in terms of the environment and these jobs. Such a system
would allow us to decouple economic growth from energy consumption. If this will be the case, we will be able to produce
more for the same or less energy consumption and create thousands of jobs which can not be outsourced. We have to make
sure that smart energy does not remain a dream. We are building today a whole new energy infrastructure in Europe. We
have to ensure this lessens the divide between Western and Central Europe in terms of sustainable jobs. A two-speed
Europe on energy will not solve energy poverty or inefficiency. We should give a helping hand to those regions which are
behind, even if it is not easy in today’s economic realities. We need a smart energy system for all European citizens at the
same time. We must prevent a piecemeal system where some citizens only see the future 50 years after the others. Simply
put, we need smart energy jobs for all Europeans, not just for those who would have received them even without Europe.

Alexander Mirsky (S&D), in writing. – Straight away after the entry of Latvia to the EU, the Latvian government decided
that for the allocation of resources from EU funds it was enough to declare Latvia to be one region. (Poland is divided into
16 regions).
As a result, one of the 4 regions of Latvia – Latgale – remains one of the most unprotected. Application of funds in Latgale
is many times less efficient than in Latvia as a whole. This situation is reflected on the labour market of Latgale. While the
unemployment rate in the capital city of Latvia (Riga) is 8-9%, in Latgale it is 20-25%. European employment programs
are inaccessible to the population of such towns as Livani, Preili, Kraslava, Ludza, Aglona and Dagda.
Instead of solving the issue of organisation and stimulation of production in Latgale, the Latvian government is
continuously increasing taxes, which leads to widespread bankruptcy of small and medium-sized companies. To avoid
social tension the inhabitants of Latgale are given LVL 100 per month as a sop.
The common policy of the Latvian government has resulted in the emigration of more than 150 000 workers. I appeal to
the European Commission for urgent intervention in the situation. It is necessary to work out an Employment Framework
for outlying regions of the EU such as Latgale.
