The EU pencil case has been handed out in schools
歐盟筆袋已轉交學校

CRITICS last night voiced concern after the EU’s attempts to raise their profile spread to classrooms across Britain.
評論家昨晚發聲關注，在歐盟企圖提升散播他們的概況到英國各地的教室後。

A council staged an EU event encouraging teachers to link up with schools on the Continent. Brightly coloured pencil cases bearing its 12-star logo have also been handed out to pupils across the country.
一個議會舉行一項歐盟活動，鼓勵教師與大陸上的學校聯繫。載有12星標誌的顏色鮮豔筆袋亦已發放到全國各地的學生。
The EU Commission denies such initiatives amount to “propaganda’’ but some fear the aim is to brainwash schoolchildren into backing the EU.
歐盟委員會否認這些措施等量“宣傳"，但有些人害怕目的是洗腦學童以支持歐盟。
Andrew Allison, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “Taxpayers will be shocked to read the cash they pay to Brussels is being spent in this way. If schools want children to know about the EU, there are plenty of unbiased resources.
納稅人聯盟的安德魯阿利森說：“納稅人將赫然震驚看到，他們支付給布魯塞爾的稅金正被這樣花用。如果學校希望孩子們了解歐盟，會有很多沒偏頗的資源。
“Teachers don’t need to go to expensive conferences, and schools don’t need to buy books from the EU bookshop.’’
“教師並不需要去昂貴的會議，和學校不需要從歐盟書店購買書籍。
Ukip MEP Paul Nuttall said: “It is utterly wrong that so-called neutral information be provided to our children by an organisation which represents a highly controversial political position.”
UKIP環境保護部保納托爾說：“這完全是錯誤提供給我們孩子的所謂中性信息，由一個代表極具爭議性政治立場的組織。”
It emerged yesterday that Staffordshire County Council’s legal department is considering a formal complaint lodged by a resident over a one-day conference it held in November for 50 teachers to raise awareness of the EU in schools.

The Commission and the council denied the event, which cost £3,500, had a political slant.

Councillor Liz Staples, Staffordshire’s Cabinet member for schools, insisted: “It focused on how schools without the EU could possibly link together, simliar to e-twinning, and how young people can broaden their horizons by communicating with and learning from children overseas.

“It was purely educational and not political in any way. There was no cost to the taxpayer.’’
