exclusion by the Amsterdam Treaty has clarified the basis for action in this area, and as set out in the
Commission(cid:146)s communication (cid:145)Building an Inclusive Europe(cid:146) (2)
the Commission intends to present
proposals for Community action implementing this new mandate. This will provide a solid basis for
future Community action helping to combat social exclusion.

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(31 March 2000)

Subject: Stockholm Declaration

What is the Commission proposing to do to ensure implementation of the Stockholm Declaration on the
teaching of the Shoa?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-0925/00 and E-1000/00
given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(4 May 2000)

The Commission attaches the greatest importance to the fight against racism, xenophobia and anti-
Semitism and, in general terms, to encouraging attitudes and values making for respect, acceptance and
tolerance in multicultural social contexts in particular.

As regards Community action in the field of school education, the Comenius chapter of the Socrates
programme provides for transnational cooperation for the purpose of intercultural education involving
teaching establishments and other actors with a relevant interest. Over the five years during which
Socrates I was in place, around 100 transnational projects a year were launched in this field.

In Socrates II, the intercultural dimension (cid:129) including the nurturing of attitudes and values underlying a
pluralist society (cid:129) is given greater emphasis and is becoming one of the features common to school
initiatives, training projects for those working in education, and the Comenius Networks.

It should, however, be stressed that the organisation and make-up of education systems in the Community
are a matter for the Member States alone.
