"Madam President, ERASMUS, in the commonly held view of all of us, is one of the most successful EU programmes, a programme which is synonymous with the European enterprise. Therefore, by discussing today whether this programme is in danger, we are once again casting doubt upon ourselves. I remind you that we did the same in the previous period on the question of the Schengen area, and this is unacceptable.
Continuing what my fellow Members have said, then, I would like to ask all young people, all students throughout Europe, in the 33 countries participating in this programme, to continue sending their applications. They should rest assured that everything will go smoothly. I would also like to express warm thanks to the teachers and all those involved in implementing the programme, who, often at personal sacrifice, ensure that everything works smoothly, because it has been said often enough before that ‘ERASMUS funding is inadequate’.
Governments have made mistakes. That is why we – the European Parliament, the European Commission – are here, to show that we are not going to discuss the obvious again. If we have such an unwelcome discussion again in the future, the discussion will not be about whether ERASMUS has a problem, but about whether Europe has a problem."@en1
