"Madam President, young people need work; we can leave the politics until later. I therefore welcome the prompt response of the European Commission to the current situation in the labour market, where several EU countries have seen a sharp rise in youth unemployment. The proposal to support with additional funds small and medium-sized enterprises and projects that encourage the employment of young people are the right steps to halt and reverse the alarming situation where, in some countries, youth unemployment exceeds 30% and, in two countries, it is even approaching 50%. If young people do not acquire working habits after completing their education, it is very likely that they will give up looking for work in the future and will join the community of people living off social benefits. Who will create pensions is a question that probably does not interest many people – it is the Structural Funds that are important. I therefore welcome the European Commission’s initiative of increasing support for small and medium-sized enterprises and, in conjunction supporting projects that promote youth employment, addressing this serious social problem through the flexible use of the available funds."@en1
