Mr President, Commissioner Figeľ, particularly in this Year of Mobility, it is a good and necessary initiative to put in place a Europe-wide quality charter for mobility for all citizens who travel around Europe for their education and further education, although it has to be said that this mobility charter is also an example of the half-hearted approach that has been taken to the Year of Mobility. We, in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, in considering this resolution, saw it as particularly important that vocation training should be treated as equal in value to general education. Our second concern was that it should be stressed that good continuous education and training is the best instrument for confronting unemployment and poverty.
The negotiations with the Council were both disappointing and revealing. I regret that I am unable to confirm the statements already made, according to which there was a high degree of consensus. The Council turned the procedure on its head as soon as it realised how willing the rapporteur of the lead committee was to compromise. We, representatives of Parliament, found ourselves being told by the Council what Parliament was permitted or forbidden to recommend. The rapid agreement made this a less than democratic process."@en1
