"Madam President, President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, sending disconcerting, destabilising messages to Europe’s young people is not a great way to celebrate 25 years of Erasmus. The 33 countries involved in the Erasmus programme and the two and a half million students who have so far had the opportunity of studying abroad deserve certainty.
It is unthinkable that the reason that this programme is in crisis is its success, including in terms of the funding already used. We need to be aware that the entire lifelong learning programme accounted for just 0.7 % of the EU budget in the last seven-year period, and we are talking about seeking an increase of 65 % or 75 % for the next seven-year period.
We would be giving a completely mixed message if we were to say we could not honour our commitments. I hope that the Cypriot Presidency and the Council will make a very real commitment to reconsidering the extra funding requested by the Commission. Parliament should give a strong, united signal to ensure young people do not become eurosceptics too."@en1
