"Paragraph 25 of the Resolution, concerning e-learning
calls upon the Commission to ‘explore the possibilities of providing an adequate legal framework to complement the action taken by the Member States and to enhance it with a real European added value’.
I have voted against this request on the basis of the Swedish Christian Democrats’ view of, and concern about, the principle of subsidiarity established in the Treaties of Maastricht and Amsterdam, since it cannot be the European Union’s responsibility to legislate on issues concerning education, in this case e-learning.
Justifying this request for increased legislative powers for the EU in terms of ‘European added value’ is a traditional way of trying to gain understanding for the transfer of further power and legislative responsibilities to the EU and for a trend towards centralisation. Nonetheless, this is an argument that does not hold water. Instead, the EU’s task is to limit its responsibilities and to focus upon its core areas of concern."@en1
