".
In an institutional context we very often discuss the problems of young Europeans, especially as regards their difficulties in starting out on a career path. It is less common for us to listen to young people, or to chat with them about their expectations. Instead of doing this, we propose new programmes, like Youth Guarantee, without consulting young people, and then these programmes are criticised by those young people and recognised as supporting occupational passivity. The cry from young people is ‘we need Youth Opportunities, not Youth Guarantees’.
The Erasmus programme is in fact one of these ‘Youth Opportunities’. It is one of Europe’s none-too-common great successes. It is hard to believe that we are now having to discuss savings in this programme. What we should decide today is to transfer all hitherto unused funds from 2007-2013 straight to this fine programme, and not look to make savings in it. Why is it that the Council and the Commission so frequently turn down such irrational paths?"@en1
