 | | After having first provided a round up of the situation for young people in terms of unemployment, jobs and particularly precarious employment, it was next necessary, given the scope of the Conference, to place the issue against the political background of the European Union. |
 | | We therefore invited Mr Prionsias de Rossa, Member of the European Parliament, and Hélène Clarke of the Employment DG at the European Commission, to address the meeting. |
 | | Mr De ROSSA invited speaker at the Conference, introduced a number of amendments to the European Parlement Report on the follow up to the Lisbon strategy, drawing attention to the problem of precarious work for young people and the need to take specific actions to combat this. |
