French President Francois Hollande hosted 24 European leaders on the 12 November 2013 for a summit to tackle youth unemployment across the EU which stood at 23.5%. The meeting was a follow up to a jobs summit which took place in Berlin on the 3 July 2013. Now is the time for Member States to put in place the structural reforms and infrastructure to make the Youth Guarantee a reality as soon as possible. This was the message to Member States from European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor to the high-level conference. They welcomed the fact that six Member States (Czech Republic, Croatia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland and Slovakia) have already submitted their first draft implementation plans to the Commission for comments. |
