"I voted for the report on education and training as part of the Europe 2020 strategy. To enable the EU to emerge from the current economic and financial crisis, economic growth must be based as a priority on education, knowledge, innovation and appropriate social policies. It is important to implement the policies in this sphere within the EU 2020 strategy framework properly and in full in order to get through this crucial period successfully.
I call on Member States to prioritise expenditure in education, lifelong training, research, innovation and linguistic and cultural diversity, which is regarded as an investment for future growth and economic balance, while also ensuring the added value of this investment.
The EU unemployment rate has risen to more than 20%, with levels in excess of 50% in some Member States and regions, and young people, particularly those with the least qualifications, are particularly hard hit by the current economic and financial crisis. I should stress that young people have a key role to play in achieving the EU headline targets for the Europe 2020 strategy on employment, research and innovation, climate and energy, education and fighting poverty. Economic and social development and the competitiveness of the EU and Member States depend on the investments made in education and training, as well as on the quality of the services in these sectors."@en1
