Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Points out that the lack of future opportunities for young people is a very real social emergency in some regions and that requires innovative and focused solutions, prompt in their implementation, in order to bring concrete improvements in the short term; Therefore expects the 2019 budget to continue demonstrating great ambition to fight youth unemployment; Acknowledges that the Youth Guarantee has been an improvement in the fight against youth unemployment, however, recent evidence is showing that the Youth Guarantee is not producing the expected results at the expected pace in some areas, for reasons that are not related to the scheme but to its implementation, mainly because of the lack of compromise and political will from some national governments, the lack of involvement of social partners and regional and local governments, the questionable quality of the offers or failures in the effective integration of the participants into the labour market beyond the duration of the offer; Calls on the continuation of efforts to improve the implementation of the Youth Employment Initiative, including by ensuring that the offers of employment, education or training match with participant profiles and labour market demand in order to place participants in sustainable employment;
