lpv:translated text	"Madam President, undoubtedly our biggest challenge is to create jobs for our youth all across Europe, and to encourage growth and development in the economy. If this scheme helps us, we will have done a great job. Members have already questioned the desirability and the practicality of moving funds from the Structural Funds into this scheme, and I also noted Ms Ernst’s question as to how Ireland, a country which has already utilised its Structural Funds, can avail itself of a scheme like this? Nevertheless, assuming this can happen, EUR 82 billion is a lot of money. It is actually EUR 3 billion per Member State, with EUR 1 billion left over, and it can make a big difference to the situation we find ourselves in. Assuming it can happen, however, I would appeal for a few things. Number one: flexibility, because without flexibility I can see State agencies gobbling the money up and the scheme not being as effective as it should be. So the private sector must be allowed to get involved in terms both of education and training and of providing opportunities. In addition, the training has to be practically based, not the formulaic, off-the-shelf training that we often get from State agencies – and I saw this in particular in relation to FAS (the Training and Employment Authority) and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund in Ireland. Finally, I would appeal for the message to be communicated to the State agencies, especially local authorities, and to young people themselves, that this is going to happen, that they can avail themselves of it and that through it they can get jobs. If we do these things, then we will make a big difference."@en1
