lpv:spoken text	". I welcome the initiative of Mrs Gutiérrez-Cortines to draft this report, bringing together many issues surrounding third-level education in the EU in a cohesive document with solid laudable proposals. While education remains a national competence, it is important that the EU give whatever support possible to educators and students, particularly in areas where new and innovative courses and qualifications are needed. In the area of rural development, there have been very significant initiatives in my own country, Ireland, to utilise EU funding such as through Leonardo to develop courses tailored to the needs of the rural economy. The first course developed was a Diploma in Rural Development and Agri-Business. Pioneering work in adult education was carried out by Professor Jim Phelan of UCD, Dr Michael Ward of UCC, Professor Michael Cuddy of UCG and Dr Ted Fleming of Maynooth. They have now gone one step further and developed the first degree programme via the Internet which is a BSc in Rural Development. This type of programme is an inspiration to what can be done for rural areas by fully exploiting new technologies. The aim is life-long learning; to produce a new type of specialist graduate equipped with superior rural development, advisory and management skills."@en1
