Erasmus+ seeks to support education, training, youth and sport across Europe. Those who participate in Erasmus+ are able to study, train, and gain experience abroad. This programme facilitates growth, jobs, social equity and inclusion with a strategic framework in education and training.
Currently the programme is having low success rates, which risks losing applicants and threatens the value of Erasmus+. An increase in the budget would allow for greater focus on education and schools. It is equally important to facilitate higher inclusion and provide grants to those who do not have as many opportunities to participate in Erasmus+.
Erasmus+ is beneficial to Europeans due to its initiatives in reducing unemployment, promoting adult learning, and encouraging cooperation. The above mentioned are only a handful as to what Erasmus+ provides, its continuation will overall be helpful in seeking sustainable development amongst Member States and Europeans.

The Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) aims to aid young people who are not in education, employment, or training and those who are unemployed long-term or are not registered job seekers. YEI seeks to support young people who live in areas where unemployment is higher than 25% in 2012. Funds were then increased in 2017 to aid regions where youth unemployment was higher than 25% in the past year.
On February 1 2019, the Commission submitted a proposal to amend the current Common Provisions Regulations (CPR) concerning funding for YEI in 2019. YEI received a EUR 116,7 million increase, bringing the budget for YEI to EUR 350 million in 2019. Without the amendment to CPR, the budget for 2019 would not be implemented.
The increased funding would allow for further support of YEI’s programmes, such as apprenticeships, traineeships, job placement, and further education leading to a qualification. I believe young people living in these regions deserve our support to secure a bright future.

Antibioticele trebuie să producă efecte pentru a salva viața pacienților care au infecții bacteriene grave, nu pentru a crește productivitatea fermelor agricole!
Noi, la nivel european, trebuie să legiferăm corect utilizarea medicamentelor de uz veterinar și să restrângem utilizarea medicamentelor în efectivele de animale, astfel încât acestea să poată continua să aibă efectul scontat în cazul tratării oamenilor!
Combaterea rezistenței la antibiotice este un subiect care ridică probleme serioase la nivelul întregii Europe. Susțin acest raport și încurajez Comisia să facă acest proiect mai ambițios în ceea ce privește dispozițiile legate de combaterea rezistenței la antibiotice, să adauge în special definiții clare ale diferitelor forme de tratament - tratament curativ, tratament de control și tratament preventiv - și să interzică utilizarea profilactică a medicamentelor antibacteriene.
Vânzarea pe internet a antibioticelor și vânzarea de medicamente de uz veterinar pentru care este necesară prescripție trebuie neapărat interzisă! Acest lucru este un adevărat risc pentru sănătatea publică.
