"Madam President, Mr Leichtfried, perhaps I can present my views in a rather less polarised manner. I do indeed believe that young people are enthusiastic about Europe and it is true we must draw on that, which is not to say that members of another generation, those who built Europe, are less enthusiastic. Unfortunately you have people for and people against at European level. Opinion polls also show – as we saw again recently – that the opponents may sometimes be more radical, and we must do more in-depth work in this regard.
On the planned pact to mobilise young people and make the concept of Europe more concrete, I believe very strongly that we must promote the cross-border mobility of our young people and that – thanks to these programmes, which will receive more funding, although I know this will take several years and is a long-term project − when we review the framework of our common policies we must look at programmes aimed at further improving the mobility of our young people and children, be they students, apprentices or young employees on work experience or vocational training schemes.
I believe that is how we will really make the concept of Europe more concrete, ensure that their enthusiasm bears fruit and produce the new generation of Europeans you and I both hope to see."@en1
