"Madam President, at a time when every European government is saying that unemployment among young people entering the labour market is double the level in other age groups, is not the information that Erasmus is under threat, or the behaviour of the European Council, proof of extreme irresponsibility? Soon we shall be hearing from these young people – and this does not surprise me in the least – the question: so what are we needed for anyway, at the end of the day? We are sorting out our own problems, but we are not sorting out the problems of the people of Europe. It is not only because of the crisis that Europe is in a situation where every day it has to prove to its citizens that they need it. With this signal that the Council is giving, we are proving that we are needed by ourselves. But we are not in any way needed by the people of Europe. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Commissioner Lewandowski and to Mr Lamassoure; were it not for their voices, Erasmus would be quietly dying and no one would be talking about it. I am surprised at Mr Migalski, with what seems to be his complaint against Commissioner Lewandowski – we are in a situation today where the Council and the Commission must speak with one voice in order to find a solution to this problem. I am pleased that the European Parliament is taking such a unified stance. May I remind you, Madam President, and through you Parliament’s authorities, that in Council Directive 89/654/EEC we established the conditions in which employees should work in Europe, and that directive also mentions the minimum temperature that should prevail at the workplace. I am not entirely sure that that temperature is prevailing in this Chamber – I am talking here about the temperature, not the political atmosphere – the physical temperature that prevails with us here."@en1
