Madam President, Commissioner, this initiative comes from a good place. Work on education and training must be a priority when it is not only essential for the employability of our young people but also an investment for the future, a gauge of our ability to maintain dynamic and sustainable development.
That being said, I am still extremely dubious about how consistent European action is overall. If the EU is not capable of implementing real solutions for growth, if it is still obsessed with punitive austerity, sterile austerity, austerity for austerity’s sake, there will be no growth for small and medium-sized enterprises, no jobs for young people and all of our efforts will be in vain.
Similarly, if the fight against youth unemployment is our priority, how do you explain your proposal to reduce certain funds dedicated to the outermost regions by almost 50%, Commissioner? These regions where youth unemployment is at over 60%, these regions which you promised to protect, find themselves being sanctioned more than any others. Where is the consistency? Where is the justice? This decision is unacceptable and we are against."@en1
