We, as the National Committee, shall send some additions to the interim approved text of the ECI which we recommend to join this initiatial text or ask to be approved as the text for campaigning to get the biggest possible support of the ECI on Employment and Sustainable Development. We absolutely agree that only European solutions could secure the exit from the current social, economical, political and even societal crisis we wittness in the Euro-American civilisation. We admire that all required measures have no influence to increasing of the complementary tax burden of tax-payers. We are eager to support to make sustainable rules to get incomes from the Financial Transactions an Carbon Taxes as the EU budget own resources. We clarify and suggest the motto of this ECI - Emplùoyment for Youth, Energy for everyone.
We agree with that this ECI could impact results of the European Parliament elections next May, we support the idea that social cohesion, local and regional economies development via investments to the European infrastructure networks are essential for bringing useful local and regional investments financed by structural funds based on the programming period 2014-2020 in order to meet the EU2020 Strategy and substantially increase the Quality of Life in all parts of the country not only around regional centres. We know that to achieve that we are to obtain the deep and large political impact via e.g. commitments of trade unions, professional unions, students, creating a special website for this ECI in the Czech language etc.
So many greetings from sunny Prague which overcomed floods very successfully in last days. New wind for all of us is needed! This ECI initiated by you and joined by us is such a great opportunity to fulfill our long-term wishes and goals.
