"I understand that the budget has to be adopted and I also understand the argument that it must not be inflated and that it has to be reasonable. However, what I do not understand is why, at this point in time, after the Treaty of Lisbon has been ratified, the Council has failed to make more of an effort to coordinate the budget, i.e. budget items, with Parliament. I can also understand that cuts have to be made in some areas of our common policy, but I do not understand why education and mobility, in particular, have to be the victims of cuts to what is known as soft policy. As you know, the Erasmus programme began life in 1987, when 3 000 students took part in the programme. By 2012, however, that number will have risen to 3 million and, for 2020, we are planning some 15 million student exchange opportunities. What mobility allows us to do is strengthen the European dimension and, in turn, improve the quality of education systems and knowledge in general. So how can we achieve the major objectives we set ourselves in the Europe 2020 strategy while simultaneously cutting funding in these areas?"@en1
