European Parliament
Elena Băsescu  (PPE ),
in writing.
(RO)
I voted in favour of Mr Gauzès’s report as the EU needs viable solutions to ensure the sustainable success of the European economy. • The Annual Growth Survey 2012 marks the beginning of this year’s European Semester. • The main priority must be the implementation of the already agreed measures. • It is necessary to ensure the coherence of the economic policy measures. • I support the creation of bonds with a view to funding infrastructure projects. • They will promote sustainable economic growth and the creation of new jobs. • I wish to point out that there are currently 23 million unemployed people registered in the EU, of whom 22.7% are young individuals. • I consider the use of European funds to be essential in supporting the creation of SMEs, in particular, by young people. • In Romania, the state must spend approximately 0.9% of its GDP in order to support the young unemployed.
