"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the conclusions of the recent European Council and the work that is being done at by the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgets, where the guidelines for the 2013 Budget are being discussed, have clearly shown the harmony that exists between the European institutions on the priorities to be given to policy action by the European Union. The institutions agree on the need to encourage growth also by combating unemployment, above all youth unemployment. In this sense, I welcome the declaration on the use of the EUR 82 billion in the financial framework 2007-2013 for the benefit of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which today form the true backbone of our economy. As has been demonstrated by the statistics provided by the Commission itself, we owe 85% of the new jobs created between 2002 and 2010 to SMEs. I think it is clear that we need to make a joint effort, through synergy and cooperation between the European budget and national budgets, in order to focus and redirect the resources available to individual Member States towards the stated priorities, especially towards those measures and programmes capable of having a concrete impact on this problem and turning things around for our young people. I am therefore asking the Commissioner to specify the actions, programmes and budget lines – in addition to those more clearly relating to small and medium-sized enterprises – which he considers need to be enhanced in order to reduce the level of youth unemployment."@en1
