"Madam President, in recent times we have been flooded by various headlines about the end of the Erasmus programme, and these have been the cause of growing insecurity among students and families. Today’s debate is essential in the attempt to reassure European citizens that the European institutions led by the European Parliament are actively cooperating, and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the EU budget in no way jeopardises the effectiveness of Erasmus, which is one of the most successful EU programmes. Using it as an example, we can highlight the challenges and risks of the austerity measures that several Member States would like to apply to the EU budget. When we speak today about the importance of ensuring adequate funding for Erasmus, we are also spreading the message that even in these times of crisis Europe is prepared to invest in education and training, and therefore in programmes that are key to its economic and social recovery. We must strive to ensure that a similar situation is not repeated in the future. It is a matter of trust in the European institutions; the solution that we are able to find will reflect the importance that Europe places on education, training and mobility in times of crisis. I therefore call on the Council of the European Union to cooperate with Parliament and the Commission in order to reach a satisfactory solution to the negative balance of payments in the budget for 2012 and especially the Erasmus programme."@en1
