i understand that the best treatment for mental illness is accepting the illness and accepting reality.
we do not need more schemes free labour schemes like the jobbridge scheme in ireland just providing free labour for big business.
now we have the youth employment initiative.
we need an end to austerity and we need massive investment to create jobs put people back to work and redevelop our economies.
it reminds me of what edmund burke said about hypocrisy that it can afford to be magnificent in its promises for never intending to go beyond promise it costs nothing'.
mr president it is almost six months now since the irish presidency promised to place youth unemployment at the centre of its agenda.
would you not welcome the initiative by the german labour minister ursula von der leyen who is going to rome in two days' time to meet with her counterparts from spain and france and italy and advertise the opportunity of work places in germany where there are one million jobs vacant where there are thirty three zero vocational training places and where eur one hundred and forty million is being invested in teaching people the german language?
surely this is precisely the kind of cooperation that we need and a sign that the european union is indeed working in the way that some in your party would once have recognised that it should?

a rebalancing of the european union economy is taking place on the back of wide ranging reforms but is not yet finished.
this is precisely why it must continue in order to ensure a return to sustainable growth.
significant adjustments are under way simultaneously across europe and need to be completed also because of the interdependence of our economies. fiscal consolidation is ongoing and releasing pressure from the markets.
we have seen we have learned the hard way that growth fuelled by high levels of debt public debt or private debt is simply not sustainable.
we need to go further with our efforts for growth at european level and in the member states.
we need to step up their pace across the european union to secure recovery and ensure the rebalancing of the economy. deficit' countries need to boost their competitiveness.

it is however the german government that is doing this; it has nothing to do with the eu.
individual governments are quite able to speak for themselves.
we have to look ahead and the good thing about this crisis is that it has mobilised us to embark on unprecedented reforms.
we cannot afford such a risk.
the lack of fiscal union will undermine the monetary union and an incomplete banking union will put the reputation of the ecb under pressure.
equally important risks are generated by this continuous swinging back and forth between the community method and transnational arrangements along the path to reform. this generates institutional confusion which additionally widens the existing legitimacy gap. we have to be clear about where we want to go.
the reality is that free trade is always a good thing;
free trade with china has been a good thing. one of the best things that we can do in the eu for the development of its economy to create more jobs and more wealth something we all say we want is to have a free trade agreement with the united states of america the two largest economies in the world coming together to trade freely to generate prosperity for everyone.
i am afraid everybody should welcome that and we should not let french protectionists try and prevent us from reaching that agreement.
you cannot make a population richer by making it poorer. it promised to promote growth and competitiveness.
how do the high wage economies of europe compete with the slave labour wages of the so called emergent economies'?
how do countries with an over valued currency that cannot be changed unilaterally become more competitive without devaluation?
improving training for the unemployed will make individuals better able to compete with their fellows.
however it will not increase the total number of jobs immediately.
it will be effective only if that confidence is soundly based.
however investors can see that the eu's embrace of the ideology of globalism will destroy european industry and reward the emergent economies and they will invest accordingly.
so don't you worry that your country is seen and it may be working as a world centre for money laundering and tax evasion namely for tax dodgers from other eu member states?
why is your government delaying the vat reform proposed by the commission to stop carousel fraud which shifts eur fifty billion per year into organised crime including terrorist groups?
you said that institutional talks are boring.
i actually fundamentally disagree because institutional talks are about who has the power. how can citizens influence and decide in the european union?
how can they hold their representatives to account?
but it also determines the ability of the european union to act and we have seen that intergovernmental europe is dead.
intergovernmental europe is not able to respond to migration flows to trump to the financial crisis to conflicts in the world and it is not able to ensure that the rule of law and fundamental rights are upheld in all the member states.
one final remark. please ask your colleagues to understand one thing.
let's stop serving only the eurosceptic voices and also represent the people who wholeheartedly support european integration and make their voices heard in the debate as well.
he made one very important statement.
have you not lost control by being involved in the european union? what is the secret when the smallest country can feel empowered and enriched and the big countries with all their influence and all their meps feel the opposite.
there must be a secret.
mr president the future of europe will be bright after the collapse of the eu and we are now witnessing the death struggle of this failed project.
we see it in the elimination of the freedom of speech and the demonisation of political opponents and the acceleration with regard to the eu army.
we see it in the acceptance of state violence against the people of catalonia and the opposition against democratic governments of poland and hungary and the sabotage of brexit.
we see it in the creation of an enemy image of russia and of the united states of america a long standing ally.
turning the eu into a soviet style empire will not avert its inevitable end and it's already showing widening cracks. it's a union that consists of irresponsible liberals in the west and of realists in the east;
of dictating money suppliers in the north and suppressed receivers in the south.
it's a union of happy migrants that profit from our welfare state and miserable citizens who are just good enough to pay the bill but are silenced about their grievances.
this union creates more problems than it solves.
what started as a project to progress peace through trade has deranged into a suppressive totalitarian instrument of a globalist elite.
the last fundament off this bankrupt union is the unlimited printing of money by the european central bank. imagine the shock when italy was about to install a eurosceptic government and there again the eu showed its ugly face of dictatorship. it denied the italian people their rightful government.
this union that has sold his soul to investors in the middle east cannot last and should not last. turkey is turning into an islamic society and erdogan is overturning the achievements towards a secular state.
journalists professors military personnel are being jailed. christian property is being seized.
genocide is being committed on the poorest part of the population.
and firmly stands the eu to protect?
no not the values of human life not the freedom of the secular state and rule of law. no it stands firmly to let turkey become a member of the
eu. in the uk muslim grooming gangs have abused hundreds of children.
they were abused raped some even killed and although the authorities knew about it they were reluctant to act and when it finally blew out in the open they tried to cover it up. in germany sweden the netherlands hundreds of young girls are victim of grooming gangs and where is the protection of our children?
there. the eu does not and will not protect our children; instead it sacrifices them. the eu elite welcomes these child rapists and still
does. honest and strong men like tommy robinson are silenced and thrown in jail to be murdered by
inmates. that is the true character of
future. the future of europe is to the nation states and its people.
mr president it is excellent that this parliament is discussing the future of europe. whether we like it or not our countries are interdependent.
we have to find common solutions to common problems.
but there is one government that is conspicuously absent from this debate that from my own country.
there is not even a single conservative mep in this debate today and that is a shame.
it is also striking that in the brexit negotiations two years after the referendum the british government still has no opening position on what it wants to secure in terms of customs relationships.
we have a white paper that is promised for next month two years after the referendum.
frankly what is happening is that the government is discovering that you cannot distance yourself from your neighbours and your main economic partners without paying a terrible economic price. but if you remain close then of course you have to play by the same rules as everybody else without if you are no longer a member having a say on those rules.
this government with its deep ideological divisions is incapable of finding a solution to this dilemma.
of thirteen march two thousand and twelve on the contribution of the european institutions to the consolidation and progress of the bologna process'. this is my proposal.
part of that is a sustainable economy sustainable social systems and a sustainable environment.
i maintain that the longer we wait with the waste package and the less ambitious we are with the waste package the higher the cost will be.
i am absolutely sure about this.
it is my true belief and i have been around for a couple of decades that if europe takes the lead even if it makes ambitious choices the rest of the world will follow.
the more ambition we can get through with the council the better it works.
we are simplifying things because we are reducing four methodologies into one methodology which creates clarity for everyone involved.
now after you have voted parliament and the commission will have to confront the council and make sure that we get member states and the council on board for an ambitious plan but again i think that the commission's proposals are the best basis for this.
this is the first time that i can see that everybody who is a stakeholder in this is on board.
sadly in this peculiar world of ours it takes three to tango as we know.
finally let me say this in the approach that we have chosen we have been inclusive from the start.
we saw it with the norms we had in the internal market and we will see it with the norms we have on waste.
those countries that are worried because they are lagging behind should actually be comforted by the fact that if you are lagging behind the changes that you make will have an even greater impact than the changes made by countries which are leading. by the way efsi funds are available for investment in this so if you make the investment the gains will be huge and you will make the transition to a sustainable economy more quickly than others.
sometimes in our work it is nice to do things but here it is necessary to do things.
we can do something about this. eu waste policy and legislation have been key drivers for resource efficiency growth and job creation.
more use of economic instruments can provide the right incentives to move up the waste hierarchy.
in this context parliament's proposals to clarify and strengthen provisions resulting in better performance of waste management systems on the ground are most
this is the only way to avoid the problems of the existing legislation which offers no methodological clarity at all. of course the best waste is no
it is encouraging that both legislators have as an objective achieving the greatest possible level of comparability and a level playing field among the member states.
while it is important that member states make continuous efforts the mechanism for granting time extensions should be simple and should ensure legal policy and investment certainty for all involved.
all the stakeholders are waiting for this and with this package they are all on board which is something we also need to cherish.
future. we are looking forward to discussing these with you and the council but let me say the following at this stage i believe that we should set clear priorities in this work examine where we have sufficiently developed methodologies available and agree realistic deadlines.
i came to this house in december two thousand and fifteen to present our ambitious programme for the circular economy and karmenu vella was here in january of this year to update you on developments.
we will never close the loop if we just keep throwing away or burning finite resources. the individual resources in our waste are just too valuable to burn or to bury in a hole in the ground.
scrap contains precious materials and retrieving them creates profits and jobs and reduces our dependency on raw material imports a very different story from the complaints we regularly receive about hazardous unsightly and often illegal landfills. we are moving in the right direction.
waste ceases to be a problem and becomes an opportunity when it is properly managed.
recycling rates in the eu have been increasing.
