Right after the UK has left.

Basically 18 yr olds will be able to travel 1 month throughout Europe for free. From Spain to Finland to Greece!

There are no jobs in Europe for the youth. Instead of giving them free train passes, why not work on how to create employment for them?

Unemployment rates differ drastically by country. Germany is the largest by population and has very low unemployment. Most of the North as low unemployment. Only the South is messed up but that is a structural problem and has nothing to do with EU policy, Latin Europeans are just lazy.

By the way, this is just a propaganda tool the EU is trying to use to coax the youth into becoming more Europhile.

It is only for 18 year olds. It would be awesome if it came with retroactive effect.

Two other relatively unknown EU goodies:

- You can go on exchange to another European university and you get paid for it by the EU.
- During your degree if you do an interneship in another EU country, the EU will reimburse you travel costs.

Yes I know. I made use of the EU Erasmus Mundus programme when I was in uni. I studied abroad for a semester and received like 1100 euros. You are allowed to do an exchange programme and an internship only once.
