"Mr President, first of all a comment on the ECB board nomination. Vice-President Reding is about to unveil her proposal for quotas of women on company boards, but wishful thinking without concrete action behind it is not going to solve anything. Gender equality is a democratic and fundamental issue.
For the rest, I welcome the decision of the ten Member States to introduce the FTT, as well as that of the Commission to introduce the Youth Guarantee Scheme. The European Socialist Party and the S&D group have actively campaigned for this for a long time now, and it is about time that this translated into concrete measures. I also welcome the willingness of the upcoming Irish Presidency to advance plans for that Youth Guarantee Scheme.
President Barroso himself said that we should do everything possible to avoid dooming a lost generation across Europe. However, when I listen to him and President Van Rompuy talking about growth and employment, I cannot help but wonder how they plan to achieve it without the necessary means and funding."@en1
