"Madam President, first of all, I would like to thank you in advance, Commissioner, and all the Members who are listening to what I have to say after hearing so many speeches.
I have followed Ms Damanaki’s explanation carefully. She said that there is no automatic mechanism for creating jobs. The Commission can only provide the instruments. For this reason, I would like to look at the instruments proposed by the Commission and I would like to debunk one myth. It does not pay to be as flexible as possible, either financially or in other ways, when first starting work or later in life. The more flexible employment relationships are, the less people earn and the worse their social protection is. One very important point is that the increase in flexible, precarious jobs and in endless internships does not give people the incentive to acquire the necessary innovative knowledge, qualifications and skills for the future, which we need just as much as our daily bread. If I have to run round to find a bread roll every day, as we say in Vienna, in other words, if I have to constantly search for an internship or worry about whether I will get the next short-term contract, I will expend most of my brainpower and energy on these activities, which would be much better spent on acquiring suitable qualifications.
A study by the European Youth Forum carried out in 2011, in other words, quite recently, shows that three-quarters of the 4 000 people surveyed, most of whom were under 25, were not being paid at all or were receiving inadequate pay. This means that most interns need financial support from their parents. Therefore, I am making a clear call for the establishment of a charter for the rights of interns."@en1
