EUROPA – PRESS RELEASES – Press Release – Statement by President Barroso at the joint Press Conference following the Round table on Youth Employment in Europe.

The fine words from President Barroso are a little hollow, just like those of Angela Merkel. The European Commission, supported by Germany, has caused much of the unemployment in Southern Europe because of excessive focus on austerity.

For me, both President Barroso and Chancellor Merkel are doing too little too late; so the crisis of youth unemployment in Europe will still get much worse, in my judgement.

Any thoughts on what to do about youth unemployment?
