"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Erasmus programme should be defended tooth and claw for the rights and future of our young people. It would be much better to cut the super-high pay and pensions of our senior officials, those untouchables of the European Union, or to reduce the gifts to high finance and the banking system.
Some practical suggestions have been made by young people involved in Erasmus. During the Erasmus Day Live initiative, some suggestions were made to President Barroso such as exchanging homes, which could make it easier and less expensive for families, or introducing some working hours (young people want to work, and they could do so in libraries and archives, or in cultural institutions), and regionalisation. Some regions like my own, Piedmont, have suggested intervening along the lines of the principle of subsidiarity.
Let us expand the basis for participation in Erasmus, let us give young people the role of offering suggestions and taking action. Erasmus is important. We critics of Europe are more supportive of Erasmus than some pro-Europeans, who want to cut not high-level bureaucracy, not costs or waste – good heavens, no! – but the things that serve the future of young people in Europe."@en1
