"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I am still somewhat astonished. After years of Mr Barroso and his colleagues in the Council having pursued a policy of austerity, and successfully having forced upon everyone unemployment and cuts in social security spending under the umbrella of the crisis, they have now discovered the unemployed. As important as this subject certainly is, it sounds like mockery if you see the promotional film for it on EuroparlTV, which talks about additional funding. I have a simple question for you, Mr Hahn, namely, where in your petty cash can you find EUR 82 billion? We all know that everything is actually already planned up to 2013 – and we are not far from the point where that door will be closing.
We should not be dealing in tricks, nor should we be talking as if everyone could now receive the same funding or indeed adequate funding. Quite specifically, what is the situation with Ireland, for example, which, as we all know, has already spent all of its resources? What advice do you have for the Irish Government when it comes to combating youth unemployment?
It is self-evident that we need to make major efforts in employment policy in order to reduce youth unemployment. That much is clear, but we also need real money to be able to do so. We also need to get behind it. Furthermore, there are, of course, other things that we need, such as more sensible protection against dismissal, or truly decent work.
Finally, I would just like to reiterate what it is that we do not need, namely macro-economic conditionality over the forthcoming subsidy period. That is something that we should not even look into. We are observing at this point in time what that means."@en1
