Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) 6.3 million young Europeans are not in education, employment or training, and the unemployment rate for young Europeans remains double that of their elders, with peaks of 40 % in some Member States, representing a generation sacrificed by austerity policies.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 b (new)
(1b) Young Europeans are facing common challenges: difficulties in entering the labour market, integrating into society, finding housing and gaining access to credit, and they are facing the risk of precariousness, with these difficulties being even more acute for young third-country nationals,

Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 d (new)
(1d) The European Union can become a source of rights and progress for young people, guaranteeing them: a mechanism for granting autonomy to all young people in order to enable them to undergo training and gain access to their first job, a European plan to convert all precarious jobs into stable jobs, and the establishment of a European statute for trainees with new rights and employment opportunities.

Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 e (new)
(1e) The Erasmus+ Programme mainly affects the wealthiest and the costs of expatriation are far too high for the working classes to be able to access this Programme. It is essential that everything be taken into account in calculating the subsidies granted: housing, international transport and local transport, food, clothing, language courses and a minimum amount required to live with dignity and enjoy this experience abroad in good conditions.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 f (new)
(1f) Too often young students from the working classes are reluctant to go abroad. It is also essential that all information on the assistance to which they are entitled be made available and, above all, that it be promoted so that it is truly effective.

Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 g (new)
(1g) In order to reach all population groups and, in particular, the working classes, the Commission should consider extending the Erasmus+ Programme to beneficiaries of the youth guarantee. This could take the form, for example, of a one-month language internship in a European country of the person's choice, which could be extended by professional experience.
