The first step in reconstructing Social Europe must be job creation for young people

Question for written answer E-008403-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Corina Creţu (S&D)

EUR 6 billion have been provided to combat youth unemployment, after the European Union had allocated EUR 1 600 billion to save the banks.

The first step in reconstructing Social Europe must be job creation for young people. In this regard, I believe that it is necessary to supplement the budget allocated to the youth employment initiative.

What measures does the Commission envisage to stimulate the creation of jobs, the improvement of workers' skills and a closer correlation of qualifications with the needs of the labour market?
