The persistent increase in youth unemployment in Europe, which has surpassed throughout 2012 all records driven by some EU members such as Spain, is attracting the attention of European leaders. The last to show their concern for this problem has been the president of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso, in addition to reporting the plight of those who want to enter for the first time in the labor market, has also relocated on table the need to provide a background in community budgets specifically to tackle youth unemployment. The idea is not new, but it comes at a time when the debate on this sad phenomenon is very much alive and a few days after the European summit which will discuss the next EU budget framework.
At the meeting, European leaders will try to approve the budget for the period 2014-2020 and included in the new project specific funds to combat unemployment, particularly youth. "The social situation is very serious. Unemployment, especially among young people, is a big concern for us. In 12 of our 27 member states youth unemployment exceeds 25% and some countries face a real social emergency", has Barroso said in a speech to European and national parliamentarians. This group is Spain, where unemployment among the under-25s now exceeds 55%.
"We must face the problem of unemployment also at European level. Know that many of the instruments to combat unemployment are national, European level but frankly we can not avoid addressing this problem," he assured before insisting: "It is clear that we must take stronger measures to combat unemployment, particularly against youth unemployment. And I trust that this will happen. "
"I think we still have time to address the problem of youth unemployment in the discussion on the next multiannual financial framework. We can do it, if there is political will, with the right tools," said, without elaborating on how much money should be devote to this issue or how to distribute.

The Commission president stressed that "the short-term priority should be the MFF" because, in his view, "is an indispensable part of our response to the economic crisis." "It is essential for growth, competitiveness and employment," he argued.
European leaders will try a second time to reach agreement on the financial perspective at the summit on 7 and 8 February. However, the majority of countries, led by Britain and Germany, advocate cut and not increase the initial proposals of the Commission, in line with the austerity practiced by the Member States. "Do not give up a good MFF worth defending despite all the pressure," said Barroso.
The President of the Commission has asked the Member States to continue with the "structural reforms that allow them to balance their public finances and increase the competitiveness of their economies." "Our common focus should be on reforms to flexible labor markets, products and services," he said.
"Stabilization does not equal recovery. Might have calmed the market stress, but we still have to generate hope among our citizens," said Barroso, who repeated that "there is no room for complacency."
