Young people to have “a stronger voice” in EU policymaking

Young people will have “a stronger voice” in EU policymaking and the decisions that affect them in the future. That’s the promise from the European Commission which today announced several actions that it says will give young people a greater say in the decisions that impact their lives. Those actions include much greater participation of young people in the EU decision-making process.

The Commission says in the future, it will apply a so-called “youth check” when designing laws and policies for the bloc. And, it’s vowing to ensure the impact of those policies on young people will be “systematically factored in”.

The European Commissioner for Youth, Iliana Ivanova had this message for young Europeans.
