". Mr President, I should like to congratulate Mrs Prets on her report and on her desire to make a success of a text that presents certain problems and that, although it is not a legislative text, is the expression of a strong commitment. This Charter is part of an attempt to go one step further in establishing the idea that education is an area in which cooperation among the various national systems is becoming crucial. If we want to promote mobility, then we shall have to improve the way in which we exchange our knowledge and our information, promote multilingualism, reduce the administrative obstacles and guarantee welfare cover and the portability of financial systems. We will obviously have to ensure that candidates are prepared before their departure, monitored during their stay in the host country and reintegrated into their countries of origin. The finding that, despite the wide variety of specific programmes, mobility has not increased, confirms that this Charter is a step in the right direction. However, the Council has pointed out on more than one occasion that the area of education is a responsibility of the Member States. The compromise reached is worthwhile even though the progress made still lacks ambition and, above all, depends on the goodwill of the Member States. We cannot build Europe without making the area of education and culture an open space in which each country and each system, bolstered by its own resources, will no longer be afraid of the other. The Lisbon Strategy encourages us to aspire to be more effective and to modernise our education systems. While the Charter will be able to help better coordinate the mobility plans, everything will obviously depend not only on the will of the Member States, but also on the demands of Europeans who, like their ancestors in the Middle Ages, ought to be able to go round Europe without having to negotiate a path full of pitfalls. For that to happen, we need more Europe in the area of education and culture."@en1
