lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to congratulate the Commission, because I believe that this project – which we are now christening thanks to Mrs De Sarnez’s fortunate idea – is coherent with the rest of its policy, since it opens up the world to us, it recognises that there is a form of globalisation which we must confront through active and positive policies, and at the same time, it recognises the importance that postgraduate studies are taking on, and must take on, in Europe, as well as European Masters degrees. I believe it is an important and reformist document. I would also like to congratulate Mrs De Sarnez on her common sense and her open spirit, because that is the best way for us to work together. There are certain points which I believe are interesting, but which concern me. In this regard I do not agree with my friend, the communist Member Konstantinos Alyssandrakis. I believe that European Masters and postgraduate programmes should help the universities to create partnerships amongst each other; so that they can make free use of the world scene to come together, without external controls, except quality indicators. I believe that no police authority can determine the limits of knowledge and partnership. Furthermore, I believe that at such a dynamic time for society, we cannot work if we do not allow the people to work in partnership and for the universities to meet, to seek common ground and make decisions. We must simply ‘bless’ – to use a very classical term – their actions. What do worry me – and I address this to the Commission – are the quality indicators, because I am afraid of borders of States and countries. In this regard, I would go as far as to suggest that we should give more support to the establishment of European universities and institutions of a European nature, which, together with the States, would serve as experts, as ‘stake holder’ bodies and as genuine beneficiaries of the programme. These bodies must truly cooperate on these projects and in this way they will also ease the Commission’s burden. Furthermore, I believe it is very important to create institutional incentives. For this programme we must not just support students, but we must also reward those universities which work and meet together, and those which carry out the greatest number of exchanges with third countries, because we must create enthusiasm; we must stimulate this process which, by means of the programme, has been a success, even if it has been very slow. We will only succeed if we accept the difficulties faced by universities in implementing this policy of approximation and if we help them in this new experiment. Finally, I also believe there should be more help for the poorest students, since many of them are not able to join in with the programmes."@en1
