Although some aspects of the Annual Growth Survey submitted by the Commission in November 2011 are to be welcomed, it should give a higher priority to social and employment policy issues. With regard to the Europe 2020 strategy objective of significantly increasing European employment levels, it is important to ensure that, despite taking the necessary austerity measures, we also invest in high-quality jobs. In particular, we must combat youth unemployment and the precarious jobs which many young people have.
