The rapporteur, Mrs Fontaine, invited Parliament to approve the common draft so that the European Voluntary Service could become operational as soon as possible, while hoping that the programme’s success in the coming months would prise open the budgetary corset in which the Council had stuffed it. While understanding Parliament’s disappointment, Commissioner Bangemann congratulated the successful conclusion of the conciliation procedure and hoped that this programme would develop its own impetus.

Details

The rapporteur highlighted the originality of the programme whose main aim was to give young people the opportunity to become voluntarily involved in social, cultural and environmental projects. She welcomed the fact that, at the end of the pilot phase, many young people had returned to their studies, found a job or decided to stay on in their host country. She also stressed the need to offer linguistic and cultural preparation to young people who agreed to go abroad. Mrs Fontaine also called for the financial resources to match the programme’s quality objective. By proposing ECU 80 million for 1998-1999, Parliament wanted to triple the number of young people who could benefit from the programme. Commissioner Cresson indicated that the Commission shared Parliament’s view on the Council’s common position. She confirmed that, in qualitative terms, the programme’s results were excellent, despite the obstacles which remained to the mobility of young volunteers, particularly young unemployed people. Mrs Cresson rejected Amendments Nos 1 (but proposed an amendment to its wording) and 5 which provided for the introduction of a European status of young volunteer without taking into account the responsibilities of the Member States. The Commission could also not accept part of Amendments Nos 2 and 4 on the link with national civilian services. Amendments Nos 7, 8, 9 and 10 also had to be rejected for strictly legal reasons. However, the Commission could accept the amendment on the composition of the programme committee as this complied with the decision on comitology. Finally, while being very sympathetic to Amendment No 3 (on the two-year budget for the programme), the Commission still maintained its original proposal for a budget of ECU 60 million given that this represented the minimum amount required to achieve the programme’s objectives in light of the experience of the pilot phase.

Details

The rapporteur pointed out that this proposal fell within the more general context of implementing a genuine youth policy at European level. She called for the European Voluntary Service to be accessible to all young people, for solidarity associations to be closely linked to the processes and for those Member States favourable to the idea of a European voluntary civilian service to be able to integrate this within their national services. The rapporteur also called for young volunteers to be guaranteed a proper status which would ensure their social protection and legal coverage. The voluntary service should also be open to young people from third countries. Finally, she regretted that the resources did not match the programme’s ambitions. Recalling that the Commission’s proposal was in response to demands made in a Parliament resolution of 22 September 1995, Commissioner Cresson stressed that the high number of projects received showed that people were extremely keen to create a Europe of citizens. As for the amendments tabled, the Commissioner said that the Commission could take most of these on board, in particular those advocating development of the cooperation policy, those stressing the importance of coordination with the ‘Youth for Europe’ programme, those intended to bring down legal obstacles to transnational mobility and those underlining the role of the association sector. However, the Commission could not accept the part of Amendment No 11 establishing a link between national civilian services as these were the responsibility of the Member States. Likewise, for legal reasons, Amendments Nos 1, 4, 7, 10 and 38 could not be accepted by the Commission and neither could part of Amendments Nos 28 and 29 which also referred to points which were the exclusive remit of the Member States. The Commission could also not accept Amendments Nos 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 on comitology. Finally, Amendment No 20 on the budget could not be accepted at this stage.

She called for the European Voluntary Service to be accessible to all young people, for solidarity associations to be closely linked to the processes and for those Member States favourable to the idea of a European voluntary civilian service to be able to integrate this within their national services. The rapporteur also called for young volunteers to be guaranteed a proper status which would ensure their social protection and legal coverage. The voluntary service should also be open to young people from third countries. Finally, she regretted that the resources did not match the programme’s ambitions. Recalling that the Commission’s proposal was in response to demands made in a Parliament resolution of 22 September 1995, Commissioner Cresson stressed that the high number of projects received showed that people were extremely keen to create a Europe of citizens. As for the amendments tabled, the Commissioner said that the Commission could take most of these on board, in particular those advocating development of the cooperation policy, those stressing the importance of coordination with the ‘Youth for Europe’ programme, those intended to bring down legal obstacles to transnational mobility and those underlining the role of the association sector. However, the Commission could not accept the part of Amendment No 11 establishing a link between national civilian services as these were the responsibility of the Member States. Likewise, for legal reasons, Amendments Nos 1, 4, 7, 10 and 38 could not be accepted by the Commission and neither could part of Amendments Nos 28 and 29 which also referred to points which were the exclusive remit of the Member States. The Commission could also not accept Amendments Nos 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 on comitology. Finally, Amendment No 20 on the budget could not be accepted at this stage.

She welcomed the fact that, at the end of the pilot phase, many young people had returned to their studies, found a job or decided to stay on in their host country. She also stressed the need to offer linguistic and cultural preparation to young people who agreed to go abroad. Mrs Fontaine also called for the financial resources to match the programme’s quality objective. By proposing ECU 80 million for 1998-1999, Parliament wanted to triple the number of young people who could benefit from the programme. Commissioner Cresson indicated that the Commission shared Parliament’s view on the Council’s common position. She confirmed that, in qualitative terms, the programme’s results were excellent, despite the obstacles which remained to the mobility of young volunteers, particularly young unemployed people. Mrs Cresson rejected Amendments Nos 1 (but proposed an amendment to its wording) and 5 which provided for the introduction of a European status of young volunteer without taking into account the responsibilities of the Member States. The Commission could also not accept part of Amendments Nos 2 and 4 on the link with national civilian services. Amendments Nos 7, 8, 9 and 10 also had to be rejected for strictly legal reasons. However, the Commission could accept the amendment on the composition of the programme committee as this complied with the decision on comitology. Finally, while being very sympathetic to Amendment No 3 (on the two-year budget for the programme), the Commission still maintained its original proposal for a budget of ECU 60 million given that this represented the minimum amount required to achieve the programme’s objectives in light of the experience of the pilot phase.

While understanding Parliament’s disappointment, Commissioner Bangemann congratulated the successful conclusion of the conciliation procedure and hoped that this programme would develop its own impetus.
