"Mr President, the strengthening of the European Union cannot be achieved solely through the euro. Our young people must feel integrated, not separated by borders, and have a more open, free mentality. In short, they must gain that ability to adapt and that speed in cultural exchange, training and professional experience which are increasingly necessary elements in the society of the next millennium. “Youth” is a programme which will be able to achieve these aims. Above all, it allows the least well-off and most disadvantaged young people to have experiences of other countries which could prove decisive when they enter the job market. It is therefore a priority to ensure, as highlighted by the rapporteur, a greater diffusion of the programme and to make sure that, in future, Community actions like this one will not remain a privilege for a minority because of a lack of information. I fully agree with criticisms that the Council has not been willing to increase the budget, which is necessary for equal opportunities of access to the programme. Moreover, it is incredible that full protection of the participants cannot be ensured as far as social protection and medical assistance is concerned. To conclude, I would like to emphasise that in a society which is leaning towards telematics networks and the Internet, and which increasingly invests in their use, for communication, information and services, it is almost ridiculous that the Council has not accepted the amendments on the creation of an Internet site dedicated entirely to young people."@en1
