The article reports that the United Kingdom is to slash funding for scholarships to the College of Europe, the training ground for Eurocrats, in a move that could leave fewer Britons in a position to influence policy-making in Brussels, according to critics. Subsequently, the UK government announced on the 4 March 2010 that funding for UK graduates wishing to study at the College of Europe would be reinstated. It was admitted that the proposed funding cuts flew in the face of wider government efforts to boost the number of Britons working in the EU Institutions. News of the planned cut had come within weeks of the Cabinet Office announcing it was relaunching the European Fast Stream scheme, a variant of its accelerated training programme for bright graduates, in an attempt to bolster Britain's presence in senior EU circles. |
