Sérgio Marques (PPE-DE ),

I supported the Gröner report, on which Parliament voted today, on the ‘Youth in Action’ programme for 2007-2013. I particularly welcome the proposal to guarantee funding for youth-related activities throughout Europe.
This new programme provides for action under five headings: Youth for Europe, European Voluntary Service, Youth of the World, Youth Workers and support systems, and Support for policy cooperation.
In this way, Europe will continue to invest in a youth policy as a way of reinforcing its citizens’ sense of belonging to Europe and of developing its young people, on the basis of solidarity and mutual understanding among all people.
