"Mr President, as budget rapporteur for the Committee on Culture and Education, I am proud to be able to say that we in Parliament have managed to do what the Commission has not been able to do and what the Council did not want to do, namely, to take note of the obligations in the new Europe 2020 strategy and follow that up with financial support for achieving the goals set in the strategy.
It is vital that we invest in education and lifelong learning in order to create the ‘new skills for new jobs’ – a central part of the strategy. We would therefore also like to see the Council support the position on the 2011 budget that we in Parliament are expecting to adopt tomorrow. This, of course, includes, in particular, the extra EUR 18 million for the lifelong learning programme. This will enable more than 3 500 European students to go on an Erasmus exchange. We want to increase the number of students in vocational training who can get traineeships. We want to get more adults into EU-funded further training. Then there is EUR 10 million for the People programme, which is intended to increase the mobility of doctoral candidates and PhD students, provide the opportunity for closer cooperation with industry and modernise the EU’s universities, and money for communication. We would appreciate the Council’s support for this."@en1
