lpv:translated text	". This motion concerns the Court of Auditors’ report on the application of the Socrates and Youth programmes (1995-1999). The Court of Auditors highlights design weaknesses (Socrates is excessively complex, resulting in different interpretations and problems between the Technical Assistance Office and the national agencies) and shortcomings in implementation (delays, management shortcomings, suspicions of fraud, seven cases referred to OLAF) and evaluation. Evaluation reports were delayed and there were so many irregularities that the Court of Auditors found it hard to come to a judgment as to whether or not the programmes’ objectives had been realised, while the mid-term report on the Youth programme was produced by a company owned by a former director of the TAO. The motion contains worthwhile comments and proposals. It calls on the Commission to act on the Court of Auditors’ recommendations, including its recommendation to replace the TAOs by Community public-law agencies. It also calls for any ‘framework’ contracts with external bodies to be phased out and for monitoring and evaluation to be awarded to public bodies. There also appears to be some doubt as to the efficacy of the programmes themselves. These positive comments, however, are simply ways of improving programmes which, as we have stressed time and again, have been designed for purposes which bear no relation to their lofty titles. These programmes aggressively impose the Euro-unifying education model in the field of education and youth and are designed to familiarise young people with so-called European ideals. Having taken all these factors into account, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece abstained from voting."@en1
