"Mr President, I, too, have voted in favour of this agenda. It is part of the Europe 2020 strategy, the aim of which is to achieve an employment level of 75% for everyone between the ages of 20 and 64 by 2020. In August 2011, the level of unemployment in the EU 27 was 9.5%, with the level of youth unemployment being 20.4% and in some Member States even 40%. That is simply too high. Unemployment means not only missed opportunities, but also wasted intellectual skills and resources for our society. In view of the fact that 85% of jobs in the European Union are provided by small and medium-sized enterprises, I expressly support the Commission’s proposal to promote entrepreneurship and innovation and to promote the setting up of new businesses and development in order in this way to be able to shape the economy in a more dynamic and innovative way."@en1
