I do not agree with that.

Simplification means looking at reports, looking at bureaucracy, looking at how they make sense, how we can digitalize or whether they're overlapping.

And then taking action is not about saying,

You know, you have to forego some rights.

You have to really be loosening up.

It cannot be.

It cannot be.

And I tell you, this is part of our social fibre, of our social cohesion in the Union.

Think that the European Union is a promise for a better life for the people that join the Union.

Obviously, I'm talking here about labour rights and social rights, and this is quite clear that we cannot deregulate what is simplification.

It can never be about giving up people's rights.

At the same time, not just on environment, but also on digital.

Indeed, we are finding ways, but they have to be fit for people.

for a purpose so that we allow space and time for companies, for industries to do these transitions in a way that is as efficient and optimal as possible.

We're working with the budgets that we have at European level.

First of all, on the proposal for the next budget, I have secured with my colleagues a proposal that we have direct investment in people of minimum 14%.

That would mean support for reskilling, upskilling, includingly.

I want to mention another tool that we're piloting right now, this European Skills Guarantee for Workers, which is also about reskilling and upskilling workers when they need to change their skill abilities to work with AI or to transition to a different kind of job because of AI or robotization or automation impact.

So we are creating these tools so that we support people in these transitions.
