"Because the financial perspective for 2007-2013 has been rejected by the European Council, we think it too early now to debate the setting up of the ‘Active Youth’ programme. To express support in the present situation for a total appropriation to this programme of EUR 915 million (or EUR 1,128 million, depending on which proposal wins the vote) would be absurd.
The content of the programme may also be called into question. The rapporteur writes in her justification that it ‘will make an important contribution to the active citizenship of young people in society and thus enhance their feeling of being part of Europe, so that it is likely to deliver substantial European added value’. We question whether the programme really would go any substantial way towards achieving this objective. International youth exchanges are a good thing but need to be provided for financially through the efforts of civil society or through the agency of the Member States. We do not believe that the EU should contribute money from its budget in this area.
We have therefore voted against the report today, since we think that the financial perspective for 2007-2013 needs first to be clear."@en1
