"According to Eurostat, the unemployment rate in the euro area was 11% in April 2012, while across the 27 Member States it was 10.3%, a level clearly exceeded by the youth unemployment rate of 36.6%. At a time of great difficulties in terms of jobs, it is vital that the Member States provide guidance for the application of the Structural Funds to ensure swifter and more effective job creation, as Portugal has done with its
programme, a strategic plan comprising initiatives for youth employability and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In view of this, I believe that it is vital to support SMEs in creating jobs, and also to assist social enterprises in their activities, to promote entrepreneurship and the various microfinance instruments, and to adjust skills to the real needs of the labour market. I also consider it important to encourage increased mobility within Europe, which will require mutual recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications, to facilitate the entry into the labour market of many highly qualified young people. I would congratulate the Commission on setting out a new package of measures aimed at creating more job opportunities, as I consider it imperative to debate and then implement the proposed measures."@en1
