• a description of the objectives (max 500 characters)
F2020 suggests three measures to enable more EU citizens to spend time in another country: 1) The Commission shall aim to use existing EU funds more consistently to encourage mobility. Also, it shall promote more funds for exchange programmes in the future. Eventually 10 percent of the EU budget shall be used on these programmes. 2) Exchange programmes shall be open to everyone without age limits. Increased efforts to integrate participants into the host society shall be made. 3) Progress in the field of mobility shall be better monitored, e.g. through Eurostat or Eurobarometer surveys. (499 characters)
Initial feedback from the Required Info group:
Idea to replace 1) "...it shall promote more funds..." with "...it shall liberate more funds..."

Measure 1: 1) The Commission shall aim to use existing EU funds more consistently to encourage mobility. Also, it shall promote more funds for exchange programmes in the future. Eventually 10 percent of the EU budget shall be used on these programmes. Concerning measure 1, I would like to suggest "allocate more funds". |

I would find it better to say. ....F2020 is supporting the idea of mobilising EU funds for EU exchange programs by a) pushing the Commission to liberate more money....b)..... and c).....
Please don't take me at my words, it is just the sense/direction I wanted to make clear. The final formulation has to be different, of course!
Actually, I don't like the introductory sentence. I think it does not fit to the rest of the text. But that is only my opinion, do whatever you think is best!

@ Markus: yes indeed allocate funds is not legally correct, since the power doesn't lie with the Commission. So it is better to avoid it if we find a more suitable expression!

@markus: I never said that we should not use an introductory sentence, I've just said that I don't really like the current one. My suggestions was:
"F2020 is supporting the idea of mobilising EU funds for EU exchange programs by..."
and then enumerating the three points.
But actually, I think all in all it has to be shorter and the language must be easier
It goes in the same direction of what Soren said in the other thread, using keywords that capture the attention and activate emotions. It may sound too profane but I think that's the point!

Hej, I really have some issues with the objectives, when we can choose options that only stress 'exchange programmes' as I think that is not the only thing we are in favour of, right? I thought we were for more mobility in general and that exchange programmes are a tool to create more mobility, but not the end goal?
Maybe for the first goal its an idea to say "Eventually, 10 percent of the EU budget shall be used on mobility programmes". (rather than exchange programmes?)
Another thing about the second objective, I think there really shouldn't be any 'etc.' in the objectives, that just looks unprofessional as if you are not really sure what you want to achieve.
Cheers! Daphne
