lpv:translated text	"I voted against the report, which was adopted by 379 ‘yes’ votes to 27 ‘no’ votes and 57 abstentions. The committee believes that a common institutional policy is needed for harmonising European research and higher education, together with significantly stronger support by the EU for the universities. In view of the principle of subsidiarity and the idea of academic freedom, I can support neither the proposals to establish ‘a European University Seat’ nor the demand for a special ‘European University of Culture’. I find it disquieting that the Commission is being given the task of preparing a Green Paper on the European higher education area. I also find it hard to understand why it is specifically the EU and the Commission that are to assess the quality of education, especially access to study loans and grants, hardship allowances, university residences and, in particular, student health care. As a Swedish Christian Democrat Member of the European Parliament, I find it perturbing that the report contains demands and requests covering a long list of areas that the universities themselves, or at least the Member States, should be allowed to decide about, without interference by the EU. This infringes academic freedom and the principle of subsidiarity. In particular, there is dubious wording in the report to the effect that ‘convergence and cohesion’ among European universities should be boosted."@en1
