"Mr President, Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt, thank you very much on behalf of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance for your excellent speech. I would like to start by saying that I think it is refreshing to see a strong and visionary woman at the head of Europe, a Europe in which there are a great many dusty, grey suits. I think that we are in need of a breath of fresh air, and I believe that you are able to provide that. The most important thing as far as I am concerned is the fact that the Danish Presidency is to a large extent making it a priority to find a common European solution to the crisis. It involves focusing hard on creating green growth, sustainable growth and new green jobs. That is what millions of European citizens who are currently out of work need. My own generation, the young people in Europe, is the hardest hit, and I am pleased that you have taken up the question of solidarity between generations here today. I think the Danish Presidency could even go a step further and ensure that we set the halving of youth unemployment as a new 2020 objective and that we work towards providing a European youth guarantee to ensure jobs and education here during the crisis. Finally, I would like to say that it is vital for us all to recognise that cuts alone will not solve the crisis. Cuts have been on the agenda for a long time, and for a long time it has been about giving each other a haircut. Now it is time to kick start our economy, to create new jobs and to ensure that our crisis solutions are fair. Following your speech today, I have very high expectations that the Danish Presidency will succeed in this task."@en1
