lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate Mrs Gröner on her excellent and also particularly succinct work. I see cross-border youth exchange programmes as a good opportunity for young people to get to know each other’s cultures, at the same time making a contribution to the edifice of Europe. They enable young people to gain greater awareness of the differences in their surroundings and make it possible for mutual trust to grow, which lessens fear of anything that is unfamiliar. This increases people’s tolerance and their willingness to cooperate and show solidarity. In short, democracy is strengthened and that is what Europe needs. Money is needed for this, on a large scale even, in view of the importance of the programme. But the liberal group feels nonetheless that this programme too must stay within the financial framework. Secondly, I would just like to emphasise here how important it is to have good communication with young people. The communication medium par excellence is, of course, the Internet. That is why an Internet site “Youth for Europe” is an absolute must. Young people will then be able to read about all kinds of European and national activities in the field of education, training, sport, media, leisure, and so on and so forth. The possibilities are there, use them. In this way young people will become well informed by doing something which is very appealing to them, that is surfing the digital highway. I expect it to be a website that is challenging, innovative and highly accessible. On a final note, the programme must be set up soon. Mrs Gröner was right not to submit too many amendments so as to enable agreement with the Council to be reached quickly. Consequently, the vast majority of the liberal group intends to support her in all aspects of her work, in which it has every confidence."@en1
