"Madam President, Europe’s young people are those hit hardest by the severe financial and economic crisis, even though they are actually not to blame for this, and it is unfair that they are suffering the consequences. The big question at the moment is whether the European Union and Member States can help them in order to prevent a lost generation.
I would like to welcome the initiatives from the European Commission, but they are not enough. Action Teams can only be a temporary, support measure, but do not resolve the problems. The teams left when unemployment reached very high rates in these countries. I wish to ask the Commissioner today what preventive measures will be taken.
The Commission’s decision must be reviewed and countries like Bulgaria, which has the highest youth unemployment growth rate, need to be included, because tomorrow, this rate will pass the 30% mark and the cost will be even higher. This figure has doubled in two years, with well-educated young people increasingly often being left destitute. Inherited unemployment is rising.
It is time for the Commission to table EU legislation aimed at regulating the creation of industry and new jobs, providing reliefs and incentives for businesses which take on young people, and penalising firms which do not pay for traineeships and insurance contributions.
We cannot wait to see the transparent distribution of resources from the Structural Funds to create jobs for young people."@en1
