lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, first I should like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mrs Honeyball, on her excellent work. However, the objectives of European schools cannot be better expressed than through the words of Jean Monnet, who said that children of Europe educated side by side from an early age familiarise themselves with all the different cultures. They learn to live without prejudice and thus there is born and matures within them the idea that they belong together. Looking incessantly at their earth with love and pride, they will become Europeans in spirit and through education they will be ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers and to put flesh and bones on a unified and flourishing Europe. European schools, therefore, are an institution which promote the ideas on which the European Union was built. They are an institution which respects and promotes multilingualism, while pupils learn from pre-school age to live and act within a multicultural framework. The 14 schools which exist today provide a common education of a high standard which will prove in future to be fundamental to European integration. The European baccalaureate awarded to pupils is their passport to university and certifies the European profile of future workers. It is therefore important for more European schools to be founded, probably in the new Member States also; this will bring us a step closer to European integration. Finally, in order to safeguard and maintain the standard of education, a solution needs to be found for oversubscribed schools, especially the schools in Brussels. The European schools are an institution which need to be safeguarded and developed in proportion to the demands of the times, because education is the most important means of shaping perceptions and because, to paraphrase Monnet, when children become European in spirit, they will find it easier to love their earth and to forge a more substantial path towards European union."@en1
