"Mr President, I should like to enter this very interesting debate and state that I agree with the answers the Commissioner has given. Nevertheless, I believe that the problem of unemployment amongst young people in Europe is almost a red herring since, if we are able to increase Europe’s economic growth, we will be providing employment and we will need many young people. Consequently, the young people from the countries now joining the Union, who will be able to compete on the labour market of the current fifteen, are an asset and not a problem. There could certainly be a problem in the countries they leave behind. To put it briefly: economic growth plays a crucial role in a country’s capacity to absorb young people and this growth and economic development must be of concern to everyone. Young immigrants are always an asset. Mr Bushill-Matthews is well aware that the contribution made by young Portuguese people and Portuguese immigrants has been crucial to the great prosperity that his country, Luxembourg, now enjoys."@en1
