".
This is an important programme which aims to support third-country students who want to come and study in the European Union, although its limited funding may create difficulties for those required to pay university fees who are unable to do so. As a result, although we voted in favour of the report, we regret that the proposals tabled by our group were rejected, as these aimed to help solve this problem.
However, we are pleased to say that proposals were adopted aimed at improving the mobility of these students and drawing attention to the fact that the programme must not be used to attract people with special skills from third countries to the European Union, to the prejudice of their countries of origin. We insisted on the need for the European Commission, when evaluating the programme, to take account of the potential consequences of the ‘brain drain’ and the socioeconomic situation of those concerned.
We must ensure that masters’ students, doctoral candidates, researchers and academics from less-developed third countries can return to their places of origin once their period of study has ended, thus avoiding any ‘brain drain’."@en1
