"Mr President, I should like to thank the interpreters for working overtime. All I wanted to add is that I have voted emphatically against the Schmitt report, not least because education, to my mind, is a competence that should remain in Member State hands, as it is not really Europe’s concern. This is a fundamental issue.
I also have other objections to the Schmitt report, though. For example, the fact that this report is based on the idea that the education systems in the various European countries should simply adjust to the presence of non-European immigrants, rather than the other way round. It is beyond me how this position can be squared with integration, let alone the promotion of assimilation, as the exact opposite of this will be the result. This report, as ever, also contains the obligatory Roma paragraph, of course, again without asking who is, in fact, responsible for what. It also states that the Member States should ensure that immigrant children should be taught in their own mother tongues and that the teaching staff should specifically reflect the multicultural society. Forgive me for saying this, but this is a politically correct report that creates more problems than it solves."@en1
