".
The unemployment rate in the EU has increased to an average of more than 10 % in 2012, and in many regions the rate is nearly 20 %. Unemployment has affected particularly young people, the low-skilled and the long-term unemployed. With unemployment, of course, the poverty rate rises, which for young people ranges around the European average of 22 %. For Member States this means an increased burden on social security systems and an increase in public spending, from which one can infer weaker economic growth, and even deepening recession. It is with regret that we can conclude that most Member States have not given enough attention to the social, employment and education fields, and in this respect I would detect a certain failure of the Lisbon Strategy. It is therefore necessary for Member States to set up a mechanism for the effective implementation of the goals of the new Europe 2020 strategy. At EU level, we must ensure that the multiannual financial framework 2014-2020 contains appropriate budgetary resources necessary to encourage and support social investment. I therefore believe that in the next programming period we must clearly preserve the volume of the budget for the Structural Funds, in particular the European Social Fund, in order to continue to support social investments and their priorities that reflect the specific needs of Member States."@en1
