AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

This report examines how the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 was put into practice, focusing on policy coherence, youth inclusion and participation, access to quality education and training, volunteering and youth work.

Parliament adopted the text as its official position, meaning it sets out Parliament's view on how the strategy has worked and what should come next.

The report recommends that the final years of the strategy focus on managing the transition to new youth priorities and that the Commission integrate emerging topics into the remaining implementation period.

It also aims to prepare the ground for the framework that will follow the strategy after 2027.
