"Mr President, I welcome Mrs Gröner's report very much. Despite a belated start, the YOUTH programme has proved to be an invaluable programme. Why is this programme valuable? It is important because one of its main objectives is to include a higher proportion of disadvantaged young people: individuals, groups, or organisations, which otherwise would have no access at all to any kind of European funding. There has been some criticism, of course, concerning the high administrative costs, as the programme comprises so many small projects, which are naturally therefore more expensive to administer.
I have been fortunate to have worked closely with a disadvantaged youth group from Wales, my own nation, who received funding under the programme. The young people involved gained so much and to see them speaking here in Brussels, some of whom were previously young offenders, highlighted to me the importance of this programme. The inclusion of worthwhile projects with disadvantaged youth groups, I assure you, is worth every penny of the expenditure. We must safeguard the programme and protect its main objectives of targeting disadvantaged young people."@en1
