"I wanted to say to Mr Rocard that quadrupling the budget is in line with the Financial Perspective that the Commission has presented. You will, therefore, experience a lot more pleasure, Mr Rocard, in negotiating and battling with the Council, which will surely want to grant less than the Commission proposes. It will then be necessary to clarify the area where reductions will be made. Do we want 120 000 or 360 000 Erasmus students every year? We need to be very clear. If we do not give ourselves the money to finance the 360 000 Erasmus students or the 10% of schools that could benefit from an education mobility programme, then we cannot do it. That is clear.
Languages, Mr President, are included, as a common theme, in all our education programmes as well as in our programmes for citizenship. Clearly, Europe cannot be built without linguistic diversity. Despite everything, I am pleased to mention the modest progress achieved in our Member States and I will never fail to take the opportunity to speak to them to persuade them to forge ahead.
As regards cinema and aid for it, I thought that I said, Mr President, that we have to be logical. If, in the name of the European Union, we do not want to invest in the production of films, then we must give Member States the possibility of doing so.
You will have to wait until next week, Mr Rocard, when, in your capacity as Chairman of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport, you will hear an answer that will satisfy you and I am sure not just you, but all European film-makers and all those who love the cinema."@en1
