The European Commission admits that budget cuts have left no money to meet the needs of one of its most prestigious and, according to experts, one of those who have contributed to building Europe. This scholarship program Erasmus mobility with that for 25 years almost three million college students have studied all or part of an academic course in another country on the continent and it cost about 450 million euros a year.
Indeed, the Commission has run out of funds for all mobility programs (Erasmus is even more visible, more, for teachers, for vocational students to placements) so ask later this month member countries a budget increase to pay one third of the scholarships now and the end of the year, a percentage that is in the air now. Since the Commission notes that it is not uncommon to make requests for additional funds before the end of the year, but admit that this time the amount requested will be higher.
In any case, although these problems are solved in the coming weeks, the truth is that the questioning of these flagship programs is a powerful image of what the deep economic crisis, cuts and disagreements among member countries and Commission are doing with the Union project. "Erasmus is the cheapest way to Europe. It would be absolutely stupid to lose by the crisis because so little is ever done so. In addition, loss of scholarships increase inequalities, because it can afford to keep moving, "says the professor of the University of Oviedo and former president of the governing Juan Vazquez.
The European Parliament and the Council adopted a budget for 2012 that, from the beginning, the Commission said it was "insufficient" to meet the needs of mobility programs in the EU. And now there is the paradoxical situation in which the Member States themselves who voted in favor of reducing these items are illiquid, and the European box no money to cover 30% of the cost between October and December this year scholarships, as confirmed also French MEP Alain Lamassoure (EPP), who chairs the Budget Committee of Parliament to reenvolsarles funds have been advancing, according to Agence France Presse.
Budget spokesman, Patrizio Fiorilli, explained to this newspaper yesterday that "there has been no trouble paying from January to September and most of the aid by the end of the year are covered", but there is still that other 30%. However, would not disclose the figures they need to meet to approve payments from now and added: "I can not specify numbers in the specific case of Spain or any other EU country," because you are working on it and no conclusions.
From the EP, Lamassoure dare not say how much extra money will have to ask countries, but says that the differences between budgeted (3,100 million euros) and the acquired needs for scholarships for the 2007-2013 period, of not cover, could mean millions of euros lost to many countries, and they have advanced, by way of mobility aids and many other social programs also have run out of money.
Spain is the country that sends more Erasmus students abroad. Only last year, 36,183 young people (14.1% more than the previous year) enjoyed the scholarships to continue their studies or start their practices in foreign companies, but the amounts have gradually lowered as the crisis has forward. The Spanish are European students receiving less aid money, an average of 133 euros per month compared to the average of other countries (250 euros). The Erasmus Cypriots are the least hardship pass, as they have allocated grants of 653 euros per month. The Commission provides a minimum of money that countries tend to increase as they want, hence the differences.
A spokesman for the Spanish Ministry of Education said already in discussions with the Commission, but not be delivered until we see the outcome of the budget meeting Oct. 23. In any case, the same spokesman said that in Spain, because of how payments are organized, and has covered 80% instead of 70% on average of the countries. Spanish universities are also more students receive: 37,432, nearly 10,000 more than France.
The European mobility program is celebrating its 25th anniversary with an uncertain future because of the austerity. The European Commission presented on 23 October an amending budget, however, must be approved by Parliament and the Council alike. It depends on the payment of 30% of the amounts, which currently is in the air.
"Sad that one day would be the heads of state say they need to invest in youth and then reduce their training budgets," Patrizio Fiorilli scolded yesterday in his speech to the press the same day that the European Parliament will vote on budgets for next year. He also acknowledged that the EU executive had liquidity problems detected in some States and the possibility of not being able to meet the games have had to announce a proposal to amend the budget.
