REFERENCES "Exchanging views with students working in Junior Enterprises is always enlightening, as one is impressed by the enthusiasm, innovation and creativity that these activities help to unlock in young people. I would, therefore, like to stress the role played by organisations like JADE, and the importance of Junior Enterprises as learning tools and bridges between university and the business world, particularly in a European context. Promoting the enterprise spirit of young people through education and practical experience is, and will be in the coming years, a main priority of the European Union.” José Manuel Barroso, President of the EUROPEAN COMISSION
