The committee adopted the report by Anne Elisabet JENSEN (ELDR, DK) amending
the common position under the codecision procedure (second reading). The
committee wanted to increase the financing of the incentive measures to EUR
65 million from the EUR 50 million proposed by the Council and to provide
funds for involving local and regional levels more closely in the employment
strategy. It also called for specific information measures to make ordinary
people more aware of the employment strategy.
