".
I welcome the resolute manner in which the European Parliament (on Tuesday) and the European Commission (on Wednesday) have said that they are in favour of continuing the Erasmus programme, leaping to the defence of the values that underpin it. Over the 25 years of its existence, Erasmus has enabled 2.5 million European students to travel, study in another country and get to know another European culture. Since 2000, they have included 35 000 Romanian students. I shall compare it with another European programme, which is the same age and has followed a similar development path: the EU Food Distribution programme, which was also established in 1987. This programme, from which 18 million citizens or more than 1 in 30 Europeans are currently benefiting, has been in danger over the last few years. I congratulate the European Commission on its initiative to create a fund to assist disadvantaged people in the European Union over the 2014-2020 period, which will replace the Food Distribution programme. Both programmes, Erasmus and the Food Distribution programme, which have now existed for a quarter of a century, are quintessential European programmes which must continue and develop."@en1
