"I voted in favour of the report in its entirety. There are currently 21 million people out of work in the EU, approximately 10% of its active population. If you look at unemployment among young people, especially in countries that have been hit by the crisis, the figures are terrifying: 42.9% of people aged 25 or under in Greece and 46.2% in Spain. One in two young people are unemployed. These figures certainly do not reflect the dreams and visions of united Europe, let alone the dreams, visions and ambitions of the young Europeans that are the future of this continent. We all understand that, in this sort of strategy, in this sort of agenda on new skills and jobs, quantified targets need to be set for 2020. However, it is contradictory to adopt this agenda and set ambitious targets for it, on the one hand, and for numerous Member States, of which there were five in 2011, to cut spending on education when growth rates in Europe are stagnant. There is no alternative. The Member States need to put money into research, education and innovation. We need to create the opportunities that the young generation deserves."@en1
