WRITTEN QUESTION E-2588/97 by Hilde Hawlicek (PSE) to the Council (29 July 1997) Subject: New paragraph in the preamble to the EC Treaty At the Council of Heads of State and of Government in Amsterdam, it was decided to incorporate the following new paragraph in the preamble to the EC Treaty: 'Determined to promote the development of the highest possible level of knowledge for their peoples through a wide access to education and its continuous updating.' How does the Council intend to attain this objective if at the same time it is effectively cutting funding for existing education programmes? Answer (17 November 1997) It would be premature for the Council to comment on the question put by the Honourable Member at a stage when the Amsterdam Treaty has only just been signed and has not yet entered into force.
