"The European Commission’s efforts to help the Member States overcome the crisis, particularly by combating youth unemployment and by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are most welcome. However, the Commission’s plan to divert EUR 82 billion of Structural Funds resources that had not previously been allocated, including EUR 22 billion from the European Social Fund, should still be carefully analysed in tandem with the Member States involved. Thought should be given to where and how to invest those resources most effectively for the long-term development of the labour market, particularly in terms of creating jobs for young people. At the moment there is still a considerable lack of clarity. The Member States ought , in every respect, to take their responsibility for the quality of education and for breaking the vicious circle very seriously, so that young people, particularly those without any work experience, may successfully enter the labour market. This might be, for example, through undergoing work experience or receiving assistance to start up their own businesses. The programmes of this type that have been proposed are very important to States with a high unemployment rate, such as Latvia, where talented and educated young people who are unable to find attractive work are already going to look for jobs outside Latvia. This trend is very dangerous for the nation’s viability and economic growth in the long term. I greatly appreciate dialogue with the Commission on resolving an issue of such importance for Europe."@en1
