"It would be no exaggeration if we said that Erasmus was the most successful student exchange programme in the world. Its success is acknowledged to such an extent that it has become a symbol of a united Europe for millions of young people. Even mentioning the possibility of not having enough resources to run it is a blow to our trust in the EU. On top of that, it becomes clear from Commissioner Lewandowski’s statement that those affected would most likely be students with the least financial means. Let us spare a thought for the deep disappointment of a young person who finds out that because of the unfulfilled financial obligations of the ‘officials in Brussels’, he will not be able to feel free, and will not be able to travel on a par with other people of his own age; that he cannot be a true European, because somewhere the money has run out. One more thing: for many this Chamber has been a place where concern has been expressed about the burden this crisis is placing on young people, youth employment, the need for new policies … However, let us not undermine what we already have. The Erasmus programme has been with us for 25 years now, and it has become part of the cultural and educational experience of an entire generation. It has proven its effectiveness, which has far exceeded expectations. It is our duty to preserve and expand it."@en1
