"Madam President, one of the most serious consequences of the European crisis is the very high rate of youth unemployment that we are experiencing now and that in certain Member States of the EU is approaching 50%, as some speakers have mentioned during this sitting. Back in the election campaign ahead of the European elections in 2009, Mr Barroso promised that the fight against youth unemployment would be the single most important task for him and the Commission he wanted to lead. So far, we have not seen very much of this. There are enormous expectations and an enormous need to do something about the fact that we are ignoring the young generation that is to govern Europe in the future. Now there is suddenly nearly EUR 100 billion on the table, and it would be fantastic if this money could be used. It is late coming, but it would be extremely important. The question is why this money has to be taken from the Structural Funds of all places. Are the supporters of cohesion policy right down at the bottom of the career ladder and therefore the easiest to pick on? There are other parts of the EU budget that could donate funds without needing to interfere with the work of the Structural Funds. The question of how long it might take before this could be in place is also relevant. The young people of Europe are desperate. This needs to happen quickly."@en1
