"The Erasmus Mundus programme involves cooperation and mobility in the higher education sector, aimed at promoting the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It broadens the opportunities available to date in the framework of the Erasmus programme, opening up cooperation in the field of education to countries that are not Members of the Union.
Education plays a vital role in young people’s lives. International experience is increasingly valued by the students themselves and by future employers. A knowledge of languages, cultures, the specific nature of each country and the ability to operate in an international environment are just some of the many benefits of participating in the programme. The promotion of mobility is another prominent feature of the programme’s aims. The latter are particularly important in the era of globalisation, as contacts with third countries gain significance. We should welcome the fact that European students and students from third countries will continue to have the opportunity of acquiring such experience.
I am glad that the programme voted through also contains proposals for resolving visa issues. The latter complicate travel arrangements unnecessarily. The proposed facilitation should also affect the scope of information available. Students should be able to obtain all the information they require to make it easier for them to prepare for their stay well in advance. In this connection, support from European Commission representations in third countries could be particularly helpful."@en1
