"Madam President, Commissioner, as you know, work is not only an opportunity for drawing a salary so as to be able to live in dignity; it is also a time when people find fulfilment, growing in terms of psyche and character. Millions of young people today in Europe are being denied this possibility, while economic forecasts show that the problem is likely to increase, turning into a true emergency.
Since I believe that the high youth unemployment rate can only be solved through growth policies, we must make funds available in order to grow our economies. In the meantime, however, we need to give these young people some answers.
I think that in this time of crisis – nay, emergency – we should set ourselves just a few goals, or even consider ourselves to have just one priority: education. We have to help these young people stay longer in school, both in order to increase their knowledge so that they can provide the potential for the future of the European economy, and to help them become well-informed citizens. It is only by increasing their awareness that we can prevent them from becoming a social problem for their communities."@en1
