Therefore finding gifted people and the development of their talents is in direct interest of any state and Europe as a whole. Talent support does not mean elitism or elite support in the word's wrong sense, but the possibility to discover talented people in all segments of society regardless of age or background.

The EPP Group condemns the Liberals and the Left-wing groups who are continuously putting their ideology into the fight for fundamental and human rights. Party politics in this field must come to an end", said EPP Group MEPs Kinga Gál and Manfred Weber after the vote.
