Hr. formand, vi kan konstatere, at der i dag i EU er mere end 18 millioner arbejdsløse, heraf 5 millioner under 25 år, og som Santer sagde det for lidt siden, så er tæt ved 50% langtidsarbejdsløse.
Mr President, we have to recognize that Europe now has more than 18 million people unemployed, of whom 5 million are under the age of 25 and, as President Santer has just mentioned, nearly 50% are long term unemployed.
