lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the first point I should like to make is an obvious one, namely that tourism is not directly regulated under EU legislation. My second point is one that emerges quite clearly from the Queiró report, namely that we must not sideline, or even disregard entirely, such an important aspect of social, cultural and economic life. Many arguments have been put forward during today’s debate in favour of this approach, and I should like to add one more, which in my opinion is of no little significance. Tourism is also a form of interpersonal communication, since tourists not only visit monuments and tourist attractions, but also, and above all, meet new people they had not previously known. Any earlier prejudices, negative stereotypes or memories of unfortunate historic events fade away and disappear during the course of such meetings, and in fact personal contact with other people is the only way to change such attitudes. People who communicate with one another stop being strangers, which is a crucial lesson for the enlarged European Union, and in particular for young people. I therefore propose that the Socrates and Erasmus programmes be taken as models for the development of tourism schemes for young people. We should provide them with the opportunity to get to know the whole of Europe, from Spain to Estonia and from Sweden to Malta and Cyprus. This would promote a much greater degree of mutual understanding than has been the case to date. I believe that serious work should be put into schemes of this kind, and that neither time nor money should be spared on them."@en1
