Rondinelli(Pd), Yousair for young people in Adriatic-Ionian area

(ANSA) - ANCONA, 30 MAR - A European initiative dedicated to young people in the Adriatic-Ionian area. Endorsing it is MEP Daniela Rondinelli (Pd), a member of the Employment and Social Affairs Commission of the EU Parliament who has been working on youth and employment for years, the first signatory of a letter addressed to the Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira to support the request for funding for the initiative.
    Rondinelli cites some worrying data on the state of SMEs in the Marche region. suffering from post covid, inflation, competition from third countries, and the 2016 earthquake: "trade, agriculture, and manufacturing are the most penalized sectors." "Yousair," he explains, "will serve to invest in young people in the Marche and other Ionian-Adriatic regions as part of the European Macro-Regional Strategy Eusair, which since 2014 has involved ten countries in the area, four of which are members of the European Union (Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Slovenia) and six outside the EU (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, San Marino, and Serbia), which include three candidate states for accession to the Union.
    Eusair (Eu Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region) is a strategy adopted by the European Commission and the European Council in 2014 to promote the prosperity and social and economic growth of the territories bordering the Adriatic Sea by improving their attractiveness, competitiveness, and land and sea connections. Eusair's main objective is to prepare for the European integration of the Western Balkans, a process launched in 2011 with the signing of the Accession Treaty of Croatia, which subsequently joined the EU on July 1, 2013.
    According to Rondinelli, "the data on the revenues and volume of investments of SMEs in the Marche that are still active bode well; the region's potential is there.It is up to us to enhance them with the support of the EU, taking advantage of the prospect of integration between the single market and countries that have experienced development and economic growth in the last twenty years." "For ten years, the Eusair strategy has been fundamental for local authorities, businesses and families residing in the Marche region. The European resources allocated have made it possible to seize new opportunities from an economic point of view," says the Pd parliamentarian. "We cannot let this strategy die slowly or weaken, we need to take it forward by involving young people. That's why Yousair is an initiative of an experimental nature that is essential to make way for the new generations that have the skills they need, especially the digital ones, which are useful to update and reform the Eusair Action Plan, and to support small-medium enterprises in the Marche region."
