lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, today is a special day for the European Parliament and the Committee on Culture and Education and for our three honourable friends Mrs Prets, Mrs Trüpel and Mr Beazley, the rapporteurs on three separate reports on education in the European Union. The mobility of European citizens in the education and training sector makes an important contribution towards improving the quality of their knowledge and broadening their experiences and skills and, at the same time, it is a unique tool for mutual understanding and better knowledge of the various cultures which make up Europe. It is true that over recent years, thanks to the dissemination of existing education and mobility programmes, such as Comenius, Erasmus and Leonardo, the mobility of young people in Europe has increased considerably. Nonetheless, it is a fact that there are still a great number of other obstacles which hamper mobility. Even today, the number of young people crossing the borders of their country in order to participate in an education programme is still at relatively low levels. This is linked, among other things, to various practices and omissions on the part of the Member States, which directly or indirectly restrict the mobility of young Europeans. The European Quality Charter for Mobility, if correctly applied by the Member States, may make an important contribution towards lifting these obstacles, by offering adequate support for administrative assistance to people on the move, which will include, among other things, suitable preparation prior to departure, the provision of information and assistance, social security, resident's permit, housing and the facility to transfer grants and loans to the host country. At the same time, it is especially important for the experience acquired through these programmes to be recognised on returning to the country of origin. Particular attention also needs to be paid to safeguarding equal opportunities for participants. Within this framework, use of the Europass must also be strengthened. To close, I should like to extend my especial congratulations to the rapporteur, Mrs Prets, and to the other rapporteurs because, thanks to her work, the European Quality Charter for Mobility will be given more quickly into the service of European citizens."@en1
