lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I want to concentrate on the Youth Guarantee, which is our flagship project, and I want to ask the Commissioner – or, even more importantly, I want to ask the Council – what progress has been made by Member States on the Youth Guarantee? We voted in this Parliament for increased pre-financing for the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI). How much has been spent? The deadline is this year. Is it likely that some – even a significant amount – of that money may come back unspent? What are we doing to ensure that this does not happen and the Youth Guarantee delivers? One of the issues I have come across is that it can be challenging to incentivise young people to access the Youth Guarantee. There are different reasons for this and often it is because they know – and the authorities know – that it is only for a few months. It is not sustainable. Many of these young people are already very disillusioned. So what are we doing to reach them? What are we doing to incentivise them? Crucially, we have to understand that this includes the demand side as well as the supply side. One final, and very important, issue I want to raise is about my own country, Ireland, and the fact that the vast majority of young people with disabilities cannot access the Youth Guarantee Scheme. Only those on the live register can access the Youth Guarantee Scheme and most young people with disabilities are not on the live register. So we have a situation in which European moneys are being used to exclude young people with disabilities in the context of employment opportunities. This runs counter to our anti-discrimination legislation and our commitments under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities."@en1
