lpv:translated text	". It is common knowledge that the Member States of the European Union are experiencing economic difficulties at present, yet I still believe it is unmerited for the Erasmus programme or the assistance for poorer regions from the Cohesion Fund to be put at risk on account of financing problems. The Erasmus programme is one of the milestones of the EU success story, and a further EUR 90 million is needed to ensure we continue these traditions. It means a lot to those who benefit: the opening of horizons, a unique opportunity to gain experience. Raising the funds for this in the EU budget is a justified endeavour because it is one of the projects that makes the benefits of the EU visible and tangible, and allows citizens to experience the specific advantages of the European Union. In essence, Erasmus signifies the transposition of European values into practice, just like the euro or the Schengen Area, or the unrestricted movement across borders. Interestingly, alongside the problems associated with the euro, some Member States are pressing for a reform of the Schengen Area, raising the notion of restricting free movement across borders at the very time when the financing of Erasmus is under threat. We have to concede that this is because it is insignificant compared to the stakes of the common budget or Europe’s debt crisis. It is quite unacceptable that we are jeopardising the most popular achievements of the Union with austerity measures, as we are only undermining the professional prospects of the coming generations and fostering euroscepticism among young people."@en1
