Kenneth  D.  Collins  recommendation  for  2nd  reading  ›
A4-0146/98
(Qualified majority)

The following spoke:

› Mr  Provan,  who  regretted  that  Parliament(cid:146)s  services
authorized the media to film such demonstrations and called on
the  Bureau  to  take  the  necessary  action  to  ensure  that  no
publicity was given to illegal demonstrations;

› Mrs Roth, who referred to the previous day(cid:146)s demonstra-
tion before the vote on the Rothley recommendation for second
reading  (Part  I,  Item  14)  and  the  expulsion  from  the  public
galleries of journalists who were therefore unable to provide
press  coverage  for  the  vote;  she  felt  that  this  amounted  to
censorship and called on the Bureau to look into the matter;

ly; 11 to 16 collectively; 19; 21 to 23 collectively; 31 by RCV;

› Mrs  Muscardini,  who  complained  that  Members  posi-
tioned on the right of the Chamber did not have much success
in requests for the floor, and felt that the press should not be
expelled when it was covering demonstrations of this kind, as
this  was  one  of  the  rare  occasions  when  television  in  the
Member States reported Parliament(cid:146)s proceedings.

questions  which  could  not  be  called  could  either  receive  a
written  answer  within  48  hours,  or  be  withdrawn,  or  be

it the risk that they might once again not be called).

(A4-0162/98)

Resolution  on  the  communication  to  the  Council  and  the  European  Parliament  on  a  Community
strategy to combat acidification (COM(97)0088 › C4-0436/97)

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to Article 130r of the EC Treaty,

›  having regard to the Commission(cid:146)s communication to the Council and the European Parliament on a

Community strategy to combat acidification (COM(97)0088 › C4-0436/97),

›  having regard to the Council(cid:146)s conclusions concerning the communication (Item 7 on the agenda of

the Council(cid:146)s 2062nd meeting, on 16 December 1997),

›  having regard to the proposal for a Council Directive relating to a reduction of the sulphur content of

certain liquid fuels and amending Directive 93/12/EEC (COM(97) 0088 › C4-0283/97),

›  having regard to Council Directive 88/609/EEC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants

into the air from large combustion plants,

›  having  regard  to  the  opinion  of  the  Economic  and  Social  Committee  (CES  979/97)  on  the

Commission(cid:146)s communication,

›  having  regard  to  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Environment,  Public  Health  and  Consumer
Protection  and  the  opinions  of  the  Committee  on  Economic  and  Monetary  Affairs  and  Industrial
Policy and the Committee on Research, Technological Development and Energy (A4-0162/98),

A.  welcoming the Commission strategy to combat acidification, which was developed in line with the
Fifth Environmental Action Programme(cid:146)s long-term objective of not exceeding the critical loads in
any region of the EU,

B.  noting that the Commission has chosen to set an interim target whereby the area in which the critical

loads on ecosystems are exceeded must be reduced by 50% by 2010,

C.  noting that in 1990, the reference year, the critical loads for acidification were exceeded over an area

corresponding to 24% of the Community(cid:146)s ecosystem area,

D.  noting that the Commission has opted to base the strategy on the model for integrated assessment as
previously used in the context of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution,

C 167/134

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

1. 6. 98

Wednesday 13 May 1998

E.  noting that the basis used for calculations in accordance with the model has not in all respects been
complete  or  taken  account  of  the  latest  developments  as  regards  CO2  reduction  targets  in  the
Community, so that the results should be viewed as preliminary estimates,

F.  noting  that  the  Commission  is  proposing  national  emission  ceilings  as  a  way  of  achieving  the

strategy(cid:146)s interim target,

G.  noting that the strategy, in accordance with the mandate given by the Council, focuses specifically on
acidification  and  therefore  does  not  take  full  account  of  all  the  adverse  effects  that  the  acidifying
emissions may have,

H.  noting  that,  as  regards  action,  the  strategy  is  based  on  existing  legislation  and  initiatives  already

adopted, i.e. the reference scenario,

I.  whereas the analysis of other possible actions covers only technical actions, thereby underestimating

the potential for action and overestimating the costs of further action,

1.
Supports the Commission(cid:146)s proposal, which sets targets in relation to critical loads and endorses the
strategy(cid:146)s  use  of  an  interim  target  for  2010  but  calls  on  the  Commission  to  develop  a  new,  ambitious
objective for 2015, whereby in principle the critical loads must not be reached in any part of the area;
considers that details of this new objective should be given when the programme is revised in 2004;

Considers that the national emission ceilings method gives Member States the required degree of

2.
flexibility to take the measures best suited to achieving the specified interim target;

Calls  on  the  Commission  to  encourage  the  Member  States  to  make  greater  use  of  financial

3.
instruments, e.g. trading emission rights, to reduce sulphur and nitrogen emissions;

4.
Endorses  the  Commission(cid:146)s  choice  of  the  model  for  integrated  assessment,  which  has  been  used
successfully in the context of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, as the basis
for the acidification strategy;

5.
Calls  on  the  Commission,  however,  to  update  the  input  data  used  for  the  integrated  assessment
model so as to take full account of national data from the Member States, forthcoming legislation and
international  agreements  such  as  the  Auto-Oil  package  and  the  Kyoto  Conference,  before  the  planned
proposal for a Directive on national emission ceilings is finalized;

6.
Considers it important that the EU(cid:146)s acidification strategy should be compatible with the protocol of
the  UN  Economic  Commission  for  Europe  (UN/ECE)  which  deals  simultaneously  with  acidification,
formation  of  ozone  and  eutrophication  from  a  pan-European  perspective;  the  effectiveness  of  the
acidification strategy could be improved substantially if, in addition to the present EU Member States,
consideration were extended to the other European countries;

Calls  on  the  Commission  to  support  Parliament(cid:146)s  position  on  the  Auto-Oil  proposal  for  lower

7.
sulphur content levels for motor vehicle fuels from 2005;

8. Maintains  that  the  updating  of  the  input  data  used  for  the  analysis,  referred  to  in  paragraph  5,
together  with  possible  additional  non-technical  structural  measures  for  reducing  emissions,  could
substantially bring down the estimated cost of achieving the strategy(cid:146)s interim target;

9.
Stresses that a wide range of benefits will ensue from reduced acidification, such as conservation of
biodiversity,  slower  impoverishment  of  the  soil,  improvements  in  human  health,  increased  life  of
buildings and construction materials, and preservation of the cultural heritage;

10.
Considers  that  the  Commission  should  take  into  account  other  costs  and  damage  that  is  not
measurable  in  economic  terms  resulting  from  acidifying  emissions,  in  particular  damage  to  health,
eutrophication,  damage  caused  by  ground-level  ozone  and  the  corrosion  of  buildings  and  materials
including priceless cultural monuments;

11.

Calls on all Member States and the EU to sign and ratify the 1994 Sulphur Protocol;

Considers  that  the  polluter  pays  principle  must  be  applied  in  full  by  all  Member  States  in  all

12.
branches of industry and, in particular to all modes of transport;

13.
Calls on the Commission, on the basis of the calculations of cost-effectiveness, to propose specific
measures to reduce emissions of acidifying air pollutants from shipping and to support efforts to reduce
emissions in the applicant countries;

14.

Calls on the Commission to propose a ceiling on the sulphur content of aviation fuel;

Calls on the Commission, with the aim of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2)

15.
emissions from shipping, to propose and encourage measures such as:

› 

the introduction of differentiated port and fairway charges favouring vessels which use low-sulphur
bunker oil and/or are fitted with catalytic converters;

› 

the laying down of rules on emissions from shipping linking EU ports;

›  voluntary emission-reduction agreements, e.g. for ferries;

›  a request for the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the English Channel to be designated sensitive areas for
sulphur emissions under the Marpol Convention, with the aim of introducing requirements for lower
limit values for sulphur in bunker oil in those waters;

› 

increasing the use of low-sulphur bunker oil, for example by using financial instruments such as taxes
or charges on sulphur emissions, with any revenue thus obtained by Member States being used to
finance measures to prevent acidification;

16.
Considers that the Commission has not been anywhere near ambitious enough as regards the limit
values it has proposed in the context of the revision of Directive 93/12/EEC relating to the sulphur content
of certain liquid fuels;

Notes that in 1990 large combustion plants accounted for just over 60% of SO2  emissions and just

17.
over 20% of NOx  emissions in the Community;

Calls on the Commission, therefore, to submit as soon as possible the long-awaited revised text of

18.
Directive 88/609/EEC on emissions from large combustion plants;

Calls on the Commission to put forward a coordinated strategy for reducing the adverse effects of
19.
farming on the environment as regards emissions of ammonia, methane and nitrates into the air, soil and
water and a strategy for promoting sustainable and organic farming;

Considers that the Commission must submit an action plan indicating how the applicant countries
20.
are  to  be  involved  in  the  efforts  to  ensure  that  the  acidification  strategy(cid:146)s  targets  are  met;  such  a  plan
should  include  the  transfer  of  know-how,  support  for  environmental  monitoring  and  the  financing  of
investment in measures which reduce emissions of acidifying substances via existing programmes such as
Phare and Tacis; calls on the Commission also to include within that action plan measures to stimulate the
market economy and the introduction of financial instruments;

Calls on the Commission to link CAP subsidies to more stringent measures to combat ammonia

21.
emissions from farming;

Calls on the Commission to link assistance for the applicant countries to stringent environmental

22.
requirements for action to reduce acidifying emissions in those countries;

23.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission.

Resolution on the Commission communication to the Council, European Parliament, Economic and

(COM(97)0563 (cid:150) C4-0649/97)

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to the Commission communication, COM(97)0563 (cid:150) C4-0649/97,

›  having regard to its resolution of 12 March 1997 on the Commission(cid:146)s White Paper on Education and

Training › Teaching and Learning › Towards the learning society (1),

›  having regard to its resolution of 13 March 1997 on the information society, culture and education (2),

›  having  regard  to  its  resolution  of  14  May  1997  on  the  Commission(cid:146)s  Green  Paper  (cid:145)Education  ›

Training › Research: The Obstacles to Transnational Mobility(cid:146) (3),

›  having regard to its resolution of 26 June 1997 on the Commission(cid:146)s Communication, (cid:145)Learning in the

Information Society: action plan for a European education initiative(cid:146) (4),

›  having regard to the Resolution of the Council of Education Ministers on the European dimension in

education,

›  having regard to the report of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media and the

opinion of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (A4-0166/98),

A.  whereas the existing Community programmes in the areas of education, training and youth are due to

expire at the end of 1999,

B.  whereas  these  programmes  have  in  general  terms  been  well  received,  despite  their  budgetary
inadequacies, and have significantly enhanced the quality of educational cooperation in the EU,

C.  whereas the coordination of measures at European level in the areas of education, training and youth
must  be  further  improved  in  order  to  maximize  their  impact  and  to  ensure,  in  conjunction  with
improved internal coordination in the Commission itself, complementarity with measures under the
Structural Funds, research, and other programmes and initiatives,

D.  whereas  demographic  developments,  rapid  technological  change,  economic  restructuring  and  the
move to a knowledge-based society imply the need to design education and training measures to a
greater extent to enable citizens to enter and remain in the working world, and help them to participate
in social life on an equal basis,

E.  whereas  the  purpose  of  the  Commission(cid:146)s  efforts  in  the  education  sector  should  be  to  create  a
favourable  environment  for  innovation  and  employment  in  the  sectors  of  the  future  which  will
increase  the  European  Union(cid:146)s  competitiveness  by  breaking  down  the  barriers  between  public
teaching and research bodies, universities and businesses,

F.  whereas the risk of social division is particularly exacerbated by the new technologies, and education
systems are therefore called upon to make access to and use of educational opportunities available to
all,

G.  whereas there are still far too many obstacles restricting the mobility of students and teachers,

H.  whereas  the  Amsterdam  Treaty  expresses  the  determination  of  the  Member  States  to  promote  the
development  of  the  highest  possible  level  of  knowledge  for  their  peoples,  and  whereas  future
education programmes must take this as their guide,

I.  whereas education, training and youth policies must further personal fulfilment and at the same time
contribute  to  broad  social  goals  such  as  equality  of  opportunity,  social  cohesion,  promoting
citizenship, encouraging mutual understanding, acceptance of other cultures and active solidarity, in
addition to enhancing employability, thus giving each individual the means to live by his or her own
efforts and in dignified conditions,

J.  whereas specific action should be taken in order to give the young people of the European Union a
sense of responsibility by offering them the chance to express their values and convey their views and
by involving them fully in the drawing up of Community measures which directly affect them,

K.  whereas cultural and linguistic diversity is a feature of the EU,

L.  whereas  the  cross-border  mobility  of  citizens,  students,  young  people  undergoing  training  and
wage-earners  within  the  European  Union  would  be  facilitated  by  additional  efforts  to  encourage
language learning, particularly at an early age, and whereas access to language knowledge is also the
key to an increase in cultural exchanges,

M.  whereas, in the context of the enlargement of the European Union, a growing number of central and

eastern European countries will be involved in education and youth programmes,

N.  whereas  cultural  understanding  can  be  fostered  by  inclusion  of  a  European  dimension  within  the

national curricula,

O.  whereas  there  is  a  large  discrepancy  in  the  rate  of  introduction  and  use  of  new  information  and
communication technologies in educational and training establishments, both within and between the
Member States,

P.  whereas there is great potential for using the new information and communication technologies for
educational purposes, including the networking of schools and training establishments, developing
innovative  teaching  methods  and  language  teaching,  and  for  projects  to  tackle  illiteracy  and
underachievement,

Q.  whereas the EU Netdays initiative is an effective means of ensuring that the private and public sector
are able to help schools get connected to the new information and communication technologies,

1. Welcomes the Commission(cid:146)s Communication and its efforts to enable an initial debate to take place
on the future guidelines for Community programmes in the areas of education, training and youth;

2.
Is  in  favour  of  establishing  a  common  framework  of  activities,  coordination  and  monitoring
inasmuch as this will allow EU action to respond in a more flexible and integrated way to the varied needs
of national education and training systems;

3.
Notes  with  satisfaction  the  Commission(cid:146)s  intention  to  establish  a  framework  of  responsibilities
shared  by  the  Community,  the  Member  States  and  the  other  parties  involved  (educational,  social,
economic and local partners and community organizations);

4.
Considers,  however,  that  the  Commission  has  left  insufficient  time  to  carry  out  a  meaningful
consultation with all the interested parties referred to in paragraph 3 (which should also include families
and  young  people  themselves)  prior  to  coming  forward  with  legislative  proposals;  and  regrets,
in particular, that this lack of forward planning has meant that the European Parliament has been obliged
to work to an unacceptably tight deadline;

5.
Considers that the Commission(cid:146)s Communication fails to provide adequate details of future strategy
in the areas of education, training and youth; deplores the lack of clarity in the document and the confusion
of  education  programmes  with  structural  measures,  particularly  concerning  the  nature  of  the  proposed
legal instruments; regrets the lack of definition of the basic conditions which are essential if the (cid:145)Europe of
knowledge(cid:146) objective is to be achieved: a substantial increase in the budget, rapid generalization of access
to new technologies and a bold language-teaching policy;

C 167/138

Wednesday 13 May 1998

Supports  the  Commission(cid:146)s  stated  aims  of  limiting  the  number  of  objectives  in  the  present

6.
programmes and of defining the areas for action more clearly;

7.
Believes that incentives should be provided to consider the six types of activities identified by the
Commission  as  an  integrated  package  of  measures  which  together  contribute  to  the  achievement  of  a
defined goal; underlines in this context the importance of language activities as an essential prerequisite
for  all  types  of  transnational  measures,  particularly  in  the  vocational  training  sector,  where  language
barriers are still strong;

8.
Stresses the important role that must be played by the social partners in the new vocational training
programme, particularly in view of their contribution, via social contracts, to enabling workers to have
access to training and therefore achieve increased levels of employment security;

Calls  on  all  EU  education,  training  and  youth  policies  and  programmes  to  support  measures  to

9.
promote the integration of all disabled people into mainstream education and training systems;

10.
Considers  there  is  an  urgent  need  for  the  Commission  to  encourage  wider  participation  by
improving the administration and application procedures, particularly by simplifying them, standardizing
deadlines  for  applications,  speeding  up  procedures  and  continuing  to  make  the  present  programmes(cid:146)
national coordinating bodies responsible for safeguarding the continuity of Community measures;

11.
Agrees that this can also be achieved by decentralizing decisions (cid:145)to the levels closest to the parties
involved(cid:146), and yet warns that any delegation of decision-making may not and must not result in decreased
visibility of Community action in this field or weaken the Commission(cid:146)s responsibility for implementing
the policy framework decided at EU level, coordinating and supporting activities, monitoring progress,
gathering, evaluating and disseminating results, and encouraging access to knowledge for disadvantaged
groups to ensure the development of an inclusive learning society;

12.
Emphasizes  that  it  is  necessary  that  the  Commission  should  carry  out  a  constant  and  thorough
assessment of the programmes concerned, drawing on the achievements and accumulated experience of
past  actions  and  current  programmes  in  formulating  its  legislative  proposals  (including,  for  example,
theme years such as the European Year against Racism), in order to make necessary changes to improve
effectiveness and impact; considers that the assessment procedure should also ensure that their feasibility
is proportionate to their expense, identifying and targeting priority groups of participants, with the aim of
making the programmes as user-friendly as possible;

Regrets the fact that this debate takes place without the necessary qualitative information on the

13.
achievements of the current programmes, for example with regard to:

› 

the profile of the beneficiaries of the different types of activities financed by these programmes,

› 

› 

the  sustainability  and  impact  of  the  transnational  structures  and  activities  established  under  these
programmes,

the degree of integration and synergy between the different types of activities relating to the same
policy field and between these activities and initiatives financed under other EU programmes;

14.
Believes that, in the context of limited financial resources, European added value can be achieved
only by developing the future programmes as real transnational (cid:145)European laboratories for innovation(cid:146)
and by focusing on those sectors and categories which necessitate EU support and that this can be done
only if the above qualitative data are available; calls for these data to be provided in connection with the
forthcoming legislative proposals;

Calls on the Commission to draw up a report addressing specifically the relationship, in the light of
15.
the new employment guidelines, between EU vocational training programmes and the reformed ESF; calls
for this report to be submitted to the European Parliament at the same time as the forthcoming legislative
proposals,  and  will  refer  to  it  when  evaluating  whether  those  legislative  proposals  ensure  better
coordination and synergy with Structural Fund operations;

16.
Supports, therefore, the continuation of distinct Community programmes, with their existing names
(Socrates,  Leonardo,  Youth  for  Europe  and  Voluntary  Service),  since  this  is  in  the  interests  of  public
recognition, particularly by target groups, and continuity and should facilitate a smooth transition in the
year 2000; considers it essential, however, for (cid:145)bridges(cid:146) to be built between these programmes and also
between them and the research and technological development programmes, so as to allow for initiatives
incorporating components from all of these areas; calls for more coherence and clarity in the definition of
the individual lines of action, to prevent overlapping and duplication;

17.
Considers  that,  in  order  to  increase  the  effectiveness  of  these  programmes,  in  particular  the
Leonardo  and  Socrates  programmes,  certain  initiatives  should  be  merged,  such  as  the  Leonardo
programme(cid:146)s (cid:145)cooperation between businesses and universities(cid:146) initiative (formerly part of the Comett
programme) and the Socrates programme(cid:146)s (cid:145)Erasmus(cid:146) initiative;

18.
Calls for a substantial increase, and, if possible, a doubling of the budget of the programmes, given
the  important  contribution  they  can  make  to  the  development  of  a  people(cid:146)s  Europe,  to  promoting
employability and to achieving the goals of the Amsterdam Summit, and to the forthcoming enlargement
process; also considering the de-facto social exclusion of applicants from low-income families due to the
low financial level of grants, and bearing generally in mind that the current level of funding will not be
adequate to meet the increase in demand during 2000-2006 due to the accession of the Central and Eastern
European  countries;  points  out,  furthermore,  that  this  is  in  line  with  the  Commission(cid:146)s  aim  of  making
knowledge policies one of the fundamental pillars of the Union, an aim which should be reflected more
clearly in the Commission(cid:146)s overall priorities;

19.
Considers that there is a need for a separate Community programme for youth, and that this should
not be subsumed within education and training policy, since the goals of youth policy are broader than
preparation  for  working  life;  considers  that  other  objectives  should  include  offering  a  varied  learning
environment outside school, the fostering of independence and creativity, preparation for democratic and
social life and the combating of social exclusion and racism;

20.
Believes that the concept of lifelong learning, the reality of an ageing population in Europe, and
technological and demographic change mean that actions in the area of education and training should not
be restricted to young people but should rather seek to encourage individual learning at every age in life
and at every level of professional development;

Stresses that future programmes should take into account that lifelong learning can be applied to a

21.
wide diversity of sectors and disciplines;

22.
Underlines the importance of broad international cooperation in the areas of education, training and
youth with the partner countries, countries outside Europe, and with relevant international organizations,
such as the Council of Europe, Unesco and OECD;

23.
Highlights the importance of actions to promote physical mobility for the various target groups and
considers that access to exchange programmes should not be restricted to educationally or economically
advantaged  groups;  considers,  therefore,  that  there  should  be  increased  opportunities  for  vocational
trainees, apprentices and students to participate in exchange programmes; considers that there should be
increased opportunities for cooperation between vocational, general and other educational establishments
on EU programmes;

24.
Considers that greater attention should be paid to the mobility of teachers, academics and trainers
since  this  can  have  a  significant  multiplier  effect  on  the  (cid:145)non-mobile(cid:146)  population;  enabling  non-
governmental organizations to participate and have an influence as social partners also has a significant
and cost-effective multiplier effect;

Believes there is an urgent need for improvement concerning academic recognition for periods of

25.
study spent abroad, and is therefore supportive of the further development of ECTS;

26.
Points out, however, that initiatives and actions to recognize certificates and qualifications are not
the task of education programmes but require joint regulation by the individual Member States, involving
the social partners;

27.
Considers that it is essential to facilitate communication among all Europeans, in order to maximize
the benefits of the Single Market, and that there is therefore a need to encourage the acquisition of a good
level  of  knowledge  of  the  Community  languages  (especially  those  in  widest  use  and  the  languages  of
neighbouring Member States), whilst recognizing the need to preserve the rich diversity of languages in
Europe;

28.
Hopes, therefore, that the new generation of initiatives to be submitted by the Commission will
include a major campaign to promote the language skills of teachers, educators and trainers, and also the
dissemination of appropriate educational software;

29.
Stresses the need for a European statute to be promoted for the benefit of students and teachers
which would in particular enable them to avoid social security problems and to move freely within all the
EU Member States;

30.
Strongly  supports  actions  designed  to  promote  understanding  and  peace  between  differing
countries and cultures, both within the European Union and beyond; believes that exchanges involving
countries  of  Central  and  Eastern  Europe  and  the  Islamic  world  ›  especially  when  they  belong  to  the
Mediterranean Basin › could be particularly fruitful;

31.
Supports the inclusion of a European dimension within the school curriculum and believes that this
can be done through many different subjects and not only through language teaching; in this connection
wishes to see the Comenius aspect of the Socrates programme strengthened; also believes that ancillary
sources such as vocational guidance in schools and universities should include references to opportunities
across the Union; points out that teaching programmes must be particularly based on equality, sustainable
development and environmental protection as elements of the European social model;

Believes that there is an urgent need to include civic education in the curriculum, in particular the

32.
role and relevance of the different tiers of government within the European Union;

33.
Considers that education and training programmes should take into account the countries of Central
and Eastern Europe, help them to develop their educational system, particularly at University level, and
enable them to incorporate the acquis communautaire;

34. Welcomes the high profile to be given to using, and encouraging familiarity with, new information
and communication technologies within the new programmes, and believes there are great opportunities to
be gained from linking up schools and pupils across Europe, which must be encouraged as a supplement to
physical mobility; emphasizes, however, that virtual mobility must on no account be encouraged at the
expense of promoting personal contacts and exchange schemes, and that the aim of educational and youth
programmes  is  not  to  acquire  technical  equipment  but  to  make  effective  use  of  virtual  mobility  and
increase its efficiency;

35.
Calls on the Commission to play a key role in stimulating the development and dissemination of
educational software and multimedia material with European content; takes the view that the involvement
of teachers, pupils, parents and others involved in education can help to ensure that such material is good
quality, accurate, relevant and user-friendly;

36.
Is pleased to note the reference to the necessity of media education at all levels, to help people to
make sense of the information they receive through the various media; believes that this is an essential
component for an inclusive Information Society;

37.
Takes the view that a clear distinction must be made between the education programmes(cid:146) target
groups and those of the Structural Funds, and that no funds from the education sector should therefore be
made available for structural measures;

38.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission.
