"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the question we are debating this evening is of paramount importance, because it concerns young people, the most important resource of the European Union, which is at the mercy today of unemployment and insecurity, not only in countries with serious fiscal problems, such as my country, Greece, but in other countries too, in both the north and south. Young people are being forced to leave their home for other countries, both inside and outside the European internal market. Strengthening businesses is the best method because, on the one hand, it is businesses which can absorb the talents of young people in Europe with innovative ideas and a high level of education and, on the other hand, young people can, at the same time, develop their own creative activities. The Structural Funds must help here, because they are the basic tool we have for a Europe which is short of solidarity mechanisms and mechanisms to react directly to the crisis and solve the problems. At this point, I should like to ask some questions, Commissioner. Will the EUR 82 billion invested in this direction be accompanied, under the action plans, by flanking policies? Often the obstacle is not the lack of resources; it may be of an administrative or legislative nature. Investments are also needed in additional sectors, such as research and development of technology and innovation. I should also like to ask if this redirection of resources will be accompanied by flexibility. There are areas with serious structural problems which require immediate solutions which are properly designed and focus on them. Other areas suffer from emergency disasters. In my country, Greece, will Ileia, which is a ‘special area’, be able, for example, to benefit from such a flexible and immediate programme?"@en1
