As she stated, "youth is affected from unemployment and we should focus on this group for the present and the future of EU".
With the written declaration plan the members-states are asked “to take into account youth in all relevant policy sectors, to discuss with them in a structured dialogue and plan policies in education and Life-Long-Learning, in employment, social inclusion, health, youth autonomy, mobility, fundamental rights and non-discrimination". In that way we can hope to a better future of this group which is scarce to find because of demographic problem, the Greek MEP stated concluding her speech.>>
