lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mrs Reding, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I should like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent report. A dynamic knowledge economy requires a sound Learning programme. I should like to make three observations. First of all, I think it positive that primary education is also involved in the programme, but the target group should also include people other than young people, for we must not neglect the elderly, or, for that matter, those who live in remote areas. It is precisely those people that we need to take out of their Learning isolation. Via lifelong learning, they benefit from this programme and they can pass on their knowledge and experience to the next generations. Grandmothers can chat online with their grandchildren – I am an expert at it. Secondly, there is virtual twinning of schools. There are large discrepancies between the different areas in Europe in terms of the use of information technology in education, and we must ensure that disadvantaged schools are given the incentive to dare take the plunge to Learning. Exchanging information and best practices via the Internet platform is of key importance. This is how schools will be able to benefit and learn from each other’s expertise. Thirdly, the candidate countries must also explicitly be involved in the programme. From experience, I know that there are schools that are already far advanced in the application of ICT in their education. The Join Multimedia programme run by Siemens is a case in point. I sit on its jury, and it is also appropriate, Commissioner, that this is linked to a European prize. I have attended the prize-giving ceremony and I was deeply impressed with what was on offer, to which this prize gives a boost. Finally, not only is the quantity important, but the quality should also be superior. I hope that the private sector that has been established, with the Learning Industry Group, can make an important contribution to this. Cooperation between the private and public sector is a necessary step towards a European dynamic knowledge economy, which is, after all, our aim."@en1
