European Parliament resolution on a Youth Guarantee (2012/2901(RSP))

French Socialist MEP Pervenche Berès has introduced a proposal for a Resolution in the European Parliament supporting the Proposal of the European Commission for a Youth Guarantee.

The Resolution calls on Member States to introduce a youth guarantee and for 25% of the European Social Fund to be used to finance the mechanism.
It is important to emphasise that in the Commission’s proposal it emphasised the role of youth organisations in the design and implementation of the Youth Guarantee. This must be supported by the Member States.
With regards to this Resolution, there will be a debate on it in the European Parliament on 14 January and a vote will be taken on 16 January. The full proposal for a resolution in English is here.
