Naturally the European Commission has analysed the prospects and specific problems concerning youth unemployment in enlarged Europe.
The first point concerns the fear of waves of immigrants. Usually, it is the youngest workers who move. Studies which we have carried out show that mobility from the 10 future Member States to the present European Union of the 15 will be relatively limited. It is estimated that there will be an outbreak in the first years, which will reach 250 000 people per annum, half of whom will be manpower, but that this mobility of manpower will start to decline towards the end of the decade to fewer than 100 000 people.
Of course, these studies always have a significant number of forecasts. However, they are fairly convincing if you think that they have taken account of all the prevailing conditions in each of the Member States.
Similarly, previous experience of enlargement in Europe and studies into the phenomenon of immigration suggest that young migrant workers from the new Member States will tend to migrate towards the wealthier areas of their own countries, to large towns where unemployment rates are relatively lower and there are relatively good prospects of finding work. Young people in these countries tend to opt first for their own towns and their own areas which are better developed, rather than choosing to go to another country. So much for the study of the phenomenon of immigration flows.
The second point concerns transitional arrangements for the free movement of workers decided at European level. As you know, there is an agreement on the free movement of workers during the first two years. Following accession, each Member State can decide on free movement, but it can also postpone it for five years. This is the 5 + 2 rule.
The third point concerns the strategy on employment, the application of policies in which the European Union has an added value. Here we must say that there has been cooperation here for three years between the European Commission and each of the candidate Member States, where essentially we are trying to support the creation of individualised action plans to combat unemployment. Considerable efforts are being made to include reducing the drop-out rate from school, which is a serious problem in many of these countries, and to prepare them so that, with the new generation of Structural Funds, there will be optimum investment in human resources.
Thus, I repeat that my reply includes three basic categories of issues. Immigration flows and the study of the phenomenon with possible forecasts. The second is the institutional framework as configured at European level and the third is the application of policies on employment."@en1
