European Parliament Employment and Social Affairs Committee delegation visited La Réunion from 26‑28 May to assess youth employment initiatives. Four MEPs—Dennis Radtke (EPP, DE), Sergio Humberto (EPP, PT), Hristo Petrov (Renew, BG) and Mariateresa Vivaldini (ECR, IT)—met with the secretary general in charge of European affairs and other government officials. The delegation toured projects aimed at boosting the island’s economy and labour market, including the maritime cluster, an innovation hub for job creation, and RSMA‑R, a military regiment training young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with support from the European Social Fund. Radtke said the visit provided valuable insights into the needs of an outermost region and examples of how European money helps young people access training and the labour market ahead of the next Multi‑annual Financial Framework negotiations.
