"Madam President, the foundation of Europe’s future rests upon the shoulders of our children and young people, and it can safely be said that even those parties who have a negative attitude towards EU cooperation are nevertheless of the opinion that the flagships of European success have been the education programmes and, above all, the Erasmus programme.
In the sort of situation in which we find ourselves right now in the European Union, in the middle of this recession, what we need specifically is investment in education and mobility; everybody knows this. What does the market need? It needs a high-quality workforce; and we can only guarantee a high-quality workforce through education, and, as has been stated on many occasions already, Erasmus has been the success story here.
We are supposedly concerned about the trend towards exclusion; it is through education and investment that we oppose this trend, and therefore this is what is required. It will be very alarming if we now start to make cuts in this area. I do not believe that Cyprus, as Presidency, wishes its term of office to be remembered as one in which it had a Commissioner who was anti-education, and one which saw the start of a winding-down of the education programmes. This is not the way to go; we must invest in education, since only in this way will Europe have hopeful prospects for the future."@en1
