"Mr President, the measures contained in the Citizens for Europe programme will help create sound principles for coexistence and interaction between nations. They will raise awareness of each nation’s individuality and promote recognition of its national cultural heritage. In addition, they will contribute to the elimination of stereotypes and help our citizens to become more favourably disposed towards diversity.
I was pleased to note that in the section concerning memorial sites to victims of totalitarian regimes, financial support is made available not only for remembrance of victims of Nazism but also for activities relating to Stalinism.
Throughout its history, Europe has suffered under a great many cruel and inhuman dictators, and none of this suffering should be forgotten. In view of the meagre budget allocated to this particular aim, however, our efforts should focus only on the two most shocking and horrific of these regimes, whose effects were felt on a massive scale with consequences at global level. Stalin and Hitler’s regimes must become symbols of evil, and be imprinted on our children’s consciousness as murderous systems. This will prevent any recurrence of such regimes. Accordingly, we must also ensure that suitable sums are allocated to the implementation of appropriate cultural programmes in the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective."@en1
