Mr President, the reports by Katerina Batzeli put to the vote, which concern the Youth in Action programme (2007-2013), the Culture Programme (2007-2013), the Europe for Citizens’ programme (2007-2013) and the Action programme in the field of lifelong learning, show that the procedures followed in the adoption of multi-annual programmes in the field of culture, youth education and active citizenship clearly make the preparation and implementation of those programmes more difficult. The question is: does that result from the European Commission’s bureaucratic style of operation or from a lack of understanding of the important subject of active citizenship?
Culture and education cannot abide bureaucracy. Hence the repeated calls from the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education for ‘a swift, effective and transparent procedure which will, nevertheless, safeguard the right of scrutiny and information in regard to decision-making’. Without swift decisions the hoped-for effects will not be felt. These facts fully justify voting in favour of the reports, especially as culture in the widest sense is the wealth of nations and the guarantee of their development and endurance."@en1
