lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am very pleased to add my support and my group’s support to this report. This report had a long gestation period. But the fact that we are still here so early in the morning is a tribute to the rapporteur’s work on this programme and, indeed, that of the Commissioner and the Portuguese presidency – which has shown itself to be committed to youth, to the voluntary service and to education in its broadest sense. The report we have ended up with now is more closely targeted, with an emphasis on social protection and, as the rapporteur has said, a more flexible approach than in earlier reports. We also have more money in the programme in recognition of its importance. We will always ask for more money. The budget is not enough. It is perhaps Parliament’s role to ask for more. But we can be pleased with the outcome. We can be sure that whatever money we have in this programme will be directed at youth and will, in the long-term, be money well spent. I agree with the rapporteur that this money and this programme will ensure that the efforts are targeted not just at some small sections of society but, as the Commissioner said in a previous report, at all sections of society. We must look to those who will benefit most and those who are in greatest need and who might otherwise be socially excluded. We are delighted that some candidate countries of Central and Eastern Europe will benefit as well. We can be pleased with our efforts and pleased with this report. In seven years’ time we will look back at the youth of today who will have benefited from this report and be pleased that this was the beginning of real progress."@en1
