"Madam President, I have a very contrary view and that is because I see the Erasmus project as one of the many European Union sacred cows. It is directed at young people and it is focused solely on developing and encouraging the European Union project. For the period 2014-2020, as we have just heard, Erasmus has seen its project budget increase by 40%. I recognise that propaganda comes at a cost, and this is recognised by the European Union when influencing young people as to the so-called ‘merits’, and I put merits in quotation marks, of the European Union federalist project.
But a country doesn’t need to be a member of the European Union to be part of the Erasmus project, and as an internationalist I see the cultural and educational experience that should be available to all within the educational sector irrespective of European Union borders. It should not be conditioned, it should not be directed, and it should not be focused just on the European Union. And it certainly should not be controlled by the European Union. It is a big wide world out there, and I want to see more done with Australia and Asia."@en1
