"Mr President, I should like to remind this House that in Agenda 2000 we give a high priority to youth education and training but this priority is not reflected within the budget allocation to the Youth Action Programme. Yet this programme is about investing in our future, investing in young people who will become, as we have heard today, the Europeans of tomorrow. Through these action programmes we will change young lives, offering hope and options where before there were none.
In my region, the West Midlands of England, thousands of young people have benefited. I want more to benefit, not fewer.
Finally, it is rather apt, following Mrs Scallon, that I say this: let us remind ourselves in this House that these young people will become the generation that finally rid our continent of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and the other discriminations which shame us all!
It is our duty to support this report and to support the youth programmes. And I would point out to Mrs Scallon that the term “Family” has been used politically to exclude more people than it has ever been used to include. I congratulate the rapporteur.
