".
This proposal strikes us as being worthy of condemnation in various respects, not only the damage it does to subsidiarity and its failure to respect the Member States’ competence in the educational sphere.
Firstly, it is not desirable that an exception should be made to the Budget rules by delaying the signature of conventions; thought needs to be given to prompt compliance with them. Secondly, it is not healthy for the Community budget to fund, year in year out, a European clone of the political science faculties to help supply a bureaucracy that harms democracy and political debate, whilst claiming, sometimes perhaps in good faith, to stimulate them. Finally, the colleges and institutes that benefit have, ever since they were set up, been closely linked with the small world of the Community institutions whose cause they enthusiastically promote and which they systematically supply with ideas on European affairs to such an extent that one cannot exclude the risk of clientelism, exclusive dependence and confusion of roles.
The MEPs belonging to the CPNT delegation within the Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities therefore voted against this resolution, which defends an elitist project for a uniform Europe, out of touch with its citizens’ aspirations but oppressing them with its decisions as they go about their daily lives."@en1
