lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the results achieved by the Socrates programme are indeed impressive. In all, 500 000 students have spent time studying in another Member State as part of their course. 110 000 young people have taken part in exchanges. Overall, 1 500 universities and over 10 000 schools throughout the European Union have participated in this programme over the last four years. Parliament and the Commission wanted to build on this success for the years 2000 to 2007. The younger generation should have the opportunity not only to continue being involved in Europe but to become more involved. Above all though, young people in the applicant countries should have the opportunity to take part in the new programme on an equal footing from the very beginning. It is certainly hard to understand why the Council – which extended such a warm invitation a few days ago in Helsinki – denied the young people of Europe the funding which we considered necessary in the Conciliation Committee. That is why my particular thanks go to the rapporteur, Mrs Pack, and Commissioner Reding, who together with the Conciliation Committee have squeezed EUR 300 million out of the Council. I think that the Council can be sure that over the next few years the Commission and Parliament will continue to fight for young people in this way so as to obtain sufficient funds."@en1
