Det er nok derfor, at de fleste i udvalget har ønsket at tilføje afsnittet til artikel 4, hvori det fastsættes, at formålet med programmet er "fremme af sprogfærdigheder og forståelse af andre kulturer, bl.a. ved brug af sprogene i mindst to af de lande, der deltager i EU's masteruddannelser".
It is perhaps for that reason that the majority on the committee wanted to add the paragraph to Article 4 stating that the purpose of the programme is the 'promotion of language skills, in particular by the use of two languages spoken in the countries in which the institutions involved in the Erasmus Mundus Masters Course are located'.
