lpv:translated text	"Mr President, one cannot speak about juvenile delinquency without analysing the underlying causes. After all, it is on much-needed prevention measures that we need to focus our attentions. The root cause of the problem, let us not forget, is the deepening of the neoliberal policies that have led to social and territorial inequality, to youth unemployment – the by-products of which are much more serious than general unemployment – to high levels of poverty and social exclusion due to low salaries and the erosion of benefit systems, not to mention the weakening of public services and the impact of unstable work on the lives of families and on the education of children and teenagers. Hence the need for a complete sea-change in the policies that have given rise to this situation; the time has come to stop pursuing these strategies. Living conditions for families must improve so that greater attention is paid to children and young people. Workers therefore need greater rights, including better salaries and fewer working hours without any loss of income. Better public services, including education, health, housing and social protection, are also needed. As we know, though, all of this involves different Community and national policy guidelines that prioritise people rather than competition and the profits of the large economic and financial groups. It is time to uphold the values enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, of 20 November 1989, as we suggested in the proposals we tabled. We also stress the importance of specialist training for magistrates working with minors and all those who work in juvenile courts, so that we can invest in prevention before it is too late."@en1
