lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to stress the importance of the renewed attention being paid in this parliamentary term to the 75 million people aged between 15 and 25, who from 1 May, will be part of the enlarged Europe. If we extend the parameters to include those aged 30, this figure will clearly be even higher. Indeed, in Italy and in other countries of the European Union this is the only age group that actually enters the labour market on a permanent basis. One basic view is that young adults are no different to adults, but they are adults in a different way. They therefore have rights and duties, some of which are different to those pertaining to other citizens and some are similar. On the basis of exhaustive and extensive research, the Gröner report proposes a commitment that is also a challenge: to increase the participation and information of young people in politics. The information that we must manage and provide for them must be clear and specific. Achieving the participation that we are hoping for will not be easy, but learning to participate and learning to provide information is the best approach to developing the awareness of active citizenship that not all adults are putting into practice. If we agree that those who do not have a past do not have a future, then the only choice we have is to pass on the founding values of our past to young people, who are our future. In this way, these updated and revised values will be the seeds for tomorrow’s growth. We are totally in favour of the European Youth Week because it also symbolises the priority commitment that is being given to a new drive for European youth that can count on several assets, such as intercultural learning, environmental protection, sport and art, to give just a few examples. We are redoubling our efforts as adults on social exclusion and xenophobia because it is not words but practical deeds and actions that have the greatest educational impact. Thus, working on young people and for young people also becomes a way to work on ourselves and we should thank young people for this opportunity."@en1
