lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, note that unemployment in the EU is 10.5% of the working age population. Among the young it is averaging 28% across the EU, with nearly 50% in Greece and Spain. In the UK the overall unemployment rate is 7.7%, with youth unemployment at less than 20%. At the same time Britain is seen as unenthusiastic towards the EU. Indeed this morning, commenting on David Cameron, speakers said that we cannot take the parts we want and opt out of the rest. That is an echo of one of the first comments I heard in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs after election in 2004: ‘We do not want Member States to opt out of the Working Time Directive. That will give them an advantage’. But we did opt out – legally – of certain provisions of the WTD, leaving UK employers more free to employ workers. Is that why the UK figures are better than the EU average? Social aspects and growth improve when people have jobs. It is not therefore a question of policy coordination, but of keeping policy out of employment."@en1
