Constitutional Committee of Parliament supports the discussion over the integrated youth policy

The Constitutional Committee of Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu) announced on Friday the 18th of June 2010 in reply to Estonian National Youth Council's (ENL) proposal to organise a discussion in the topic of integrated youth policy as a joint meeting of the Consitutional Committee and Cultural Affairs Committee that it supports such meeting.

Committee says in it's letter that the most important topics that should need attention are the reasons of school drop-outs, youth unemployment, discrimination of young people and the rights of youth and children. The chairman of the Consitutional Committee, Väino Linde, also says in his letter that the Committee doesn't support the discussions about th possible lowering of the voting age as a separate topic in this meeting at present time.

ENL made a proposal to the Consitutional Committee and Cultural Affairs Committee of Riigikogu to hold a joint meeting in April this year.
