"Mr President, the idea of establishing a House of European History was put forward at a meeting of the Committee on Culture and Education a few months ago. No documents were tabled at the time, however. In addition, there was insufficient time for discussion. Nonetheless, Members expressed concerns about the idea itself.
I now have before me the basic premises relating to the House of European History, and I have to say that I am shocked at the quality of the work. It contains historical errors, such as dating the origin of Christianity in the fourth century of the present era. Furthermore, certain events are given undue prominence in the text, whilst others are totally overlooked. This is particularly true of the period of the Second World War and also of the most recent two decades. It would seem that an attempt has been made to deliberately misrepresent the history of Europe. The European Parliament should not sign up to such a dubious venture, nor should it provide any funding for it."@en1
