"Madam President, I have rarely heard the Members of this House so united and speaking so passionately on a subject. The fact that 7.5 million young people between the ages of 15 and 24 are unemployed is frightening. We are not simply at risk of having a lost generation; we already have one in some of the countries of Europe.
The Commission has failed here, but so, too, have all the countries that are not making measures to combat youth unemployment a priority. Youth unemployment is not a national problem, but a European one; and so we need to act immediately, as well as in the medium and long term. The funding needed is there, after all. We could distribute EUR 10 billion from the unutilised resources of the European Stability Funds (ESF) alone. Further funding could be transferred from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund in order to finance and develop a training and employment guarantee for young people.
Commissioner, you have heard our heartfelt pleas today, and an overwhelming majority of the members of the European Parliament that are here will support you in taking effective measures."@en1
