"Mr President, I am very pleased that both the Council and the Commission are here today to talk about the Youth Guarantee because we need to keep shining a very bright light on this issue of youth unemployment if we are going to push Member States into taking positive action. It does not necessarily mean calling for more money at EU level, but sharing successful initiatives and ensuring that existing EU opportunities, such as the European Social Fund, are used to the maximum.
In the United Kingdom we have the Youth Contract: not exactly the Youth Guarantee but a good scheme in its own right. This is a GBP[nbsp ]1 billion scheme which will provide nearly half a million new opportunities for young people, including job subsidy schemes for 18 to 24-year-olds, increasing work experience placements to 100[nbsp ]000, extra incentive payments for employers who take on apprentices and better support for job centre advisors. We need a joined-up approach at national level, including businesses to take responsibility. But we must not forget that structural reforms in the labour market are necessary both for economic stability and sustainable job creation."@en1
