The Council adopted conclusions on the evaluation of the current framework for European cooperation in the youth field and on future perspectives for the renewed framework. 

 It recognises that:

  1. An improved framework for European cooperation in the youth field - building on the progress made and experiences gained to date - could further enhance the efficiency of such cooperation and provide increased benefits to young people in the European Union, especially in the context of the post-2010 Lisbon Strategy;
  2. In this context, special consideration should be given to questions of central importance, such as the added value of European cooperation in the youth field; the coherence and efficiency of working methods and structures at the EU level as well as a more active role of the Council in setting, alongside the Commission, the goals and agenda for this field;
  3. Maximising the effectiveness of initiatives and the impact they have on young people would require improved links with other policy areas that affect young people as well as closer cooperation between the relevant services within the EU institutions and EU Member States.
