lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the reason why I am taking the floor is because of my pleasure at the result that has been achieved. This is a great day for education policy throughout Europe. The adoption of this recommendation must inevitably lead to greater mobility of students and others in education, and the mobility of students is of the utmost importance for the continued development of the European Union. The more people that move to another country for a period – whether for education or for work purposes – the greater will be the understanding between our peoples at a human, cultural and professional level. Understanding is the ‘glue’ that is required to bind the European Union together. The greater the mobility of students and others, the more strongly this ‘glue’ will be able to hold the European project together. The second major gain is that we will see better adaptation of the workforce to the international labour market and to the labour market of the future, which will be characterised by flexibility and the ability to adjust. It is quite simply essential for Europe to meet these requirements if we are to hope to keep up with the other major economic players on the global stage. The Americans have a very high degree of mobility among students and among their workforce. This is undoubtedly an area in which we can learn something from the United States. I must therefore say thank you – a big thank you – and congratulations to Mr Evans, who has done some very substantial, first-rate and persistent work in connection with this report. I will also allow myself to express pleasure at the fact that this recommendation is directed at people in the applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It is of the utmost importance that young people from the applicant countries also participate in the EU’s education programmes. In this connection, it might be asked whether the EU’s education programmes are adequate. We should look at whether they can be made more efficient and possibly expanded, so that more young people can go and study abroad. All young people should try to study in another country sooner or later in the course of their education, and it is also similarly important for teachers and volunteers to receive inspiration from elsewhere. We are on the right track with this proposal from Mr Evans."@en1
