I share in the Chairman's welcome to the Commissioner. I am impressed by his worthwhile publication to mark 30 years of the Erasmus programme. My daughter, Orla, studied in Urbino in Italy where she met her husband. I am now a proud grandfather of Donata Maria Leyden Roberto. Erasmus is one of the best ever European programmes, aside from agricultural policy. Is it correct that in the Brexit discussions the United Kingdom is keen to continue its participation in the ERASMUS programme? I would be disappointed if it left the programme because it has been a success for the country.
