lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, according to Eurostat, the European Union currently has around 23 million people unemployed; that is 8 million more than in 2008, with the majority of them young people who cannot find a foothold in the labour market. Youth unemployment rates in the European Union are at 20.4%, whereas in the US it is around 17.5% and in Japan it is 9.3%. As such, there is an urgent need to adopt new public measures to stimulate economic growth, generate wealth and create jobs. Of the EUR 82 billion that the Commission announced for the period between 2007 and 2013, Portugal has received only around EUR 3 billion from the Structural Funds; that is, some 14% of the total to which the country was entitled, which has still not been duly allocated. It is essential to channel these funds into boosting economic activity, by effectively supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, by stepping up research and innovation, by stimulating international activity and by encouraging entrepreneurship. With regard to the labour market, it is vital to make use of this opportunity to encourage companies to employ young people, to enhance vocational training, to adapt higher education to the real needs of the labour market and to boost the performance of the public authorities. The question that must be asked is this: what concrete measures does the Commission recommend that the Member States implement? Will this be the right solution in order for certain Member States, including Portugal, to be able to move from a phase of austerity into a new phase of economic growth which can generate wealth and jobs?"@en1
