". – I hear what the honourable Member says and I acknowledge that he has worthwhile motives, but he will be aware that the Treaty actually states that the Community shall contribute to the development of quality education. We are confronted with the reality of having to respect the responsibility of the Member States for the content of teaching and the organisation of the education system. Consequently, it is better for us to continue to pursue a strategy of encouraging Member States to make full use of the opportunity of learning from and applying initiatives taken in the European countries generally rather than to set ourselves a more ambitious agenda which would probably strike difficulties of subsidiarity and maybe have the effect of reducing general enthusiasm.
The honourable Member will know from his interest in the subject that we are really in the early period of development in this area. The Commission wants to ensure that progress is stable and continual and I am sure he shares our view on that."@en1
