"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as my colleagues have said, the image of the European Union that Erasmus gives is a good one. Endangering this standard-bearer for the European Union, which has done so much to create a positive image and which meets the needs of young people at a time when many of our fellow citizens are having doubts about the European project, is tragic.
The Council representatives present have underlined the many problems there are in 2012 and also concerning the future funding of Erasmus, but have not given any firm answers. The question being put to the Member States today, on which there is a consensus in Parliament, is this: are you going to increase your contributions to its funding to meet the commitments you have made? Quite apart from Erasmus, the issue of funding for education programmes and also for the Cohesion Fund is equally tragic.
Personally, I am a supporter of independent financing of the EU budget, which would liberate us from the Member States’ erratic decision-making."@en1
