"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we know that without young people there is no future, and we are also sure that, with high rates of youth unemployment, Europe may become unsustainable. We must provide solutions. These solutions will not materialise through labour reforms such as the one approved last Friday in my country, which will bring our young people even greater job insecurity and destroy their rights. The fact is that Europe has a youth unemployment rate of close to 23%. In my country, Spain, unemployment affects 49% of young people, many of whom are educated, trained and talented, and who are increasingly saying how tired and fed up they are with the lack of solutions. We agree on the urgent need to approve measures to stimulate the recruitment of young people and to help small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those set up by young people. That is why I believe that we must ensure that training matches the requirements of the labour market as a matter of priority. We must realise that an education system that is fairer in terms of the quality of education and that does away with the differences between public and state-subsidised private education will help to boost creativity and innovation, thereby increasing students’ entrepreneurial spirit, specialisation and mobility. Could the Commission explain how the EUR 10.7 billion that it estimates is owed to Spain will be distributed between the various funds? With regard to the European Social Fund, what percentage of the EUR 82 billion that is still to be allocated will be assigned to this fund? What is this percentage in Spain specifically? Lastly, how does the Commission plan to integrate regional and local authorities and social partners into the action plans? Commissioner, I expect fast, decisive and viable action from the Commission, because we do not have a single day to waste."@en1
