lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think it is extremely commendable that the Portuguese programme places such emphasis upon combating unemployment and that the objective is to banish all unemployment. Nonetheless, there remains an imbalance in the programme about which I am concerned and which I want to talk about. The emphasis upon the knowledge – or information – society in this programme, as in the different national programmes of which we are aware, does in fact lead to a concentration upon innovators, entrepreneurs, new companies and new industries. Education is to be put in order, a fiscal policy devised and venture capital arranged. In fact, everything possible is to be done to provide the innovators with everything on a plate. My own experience of these industries, however, is that they are managing really rather well. In many cases, they have far too much capital, and in many cases they are spoiled. I have seen IT companies which are unbelievably spoiled. I think that resources should instead be invested in trying to prevent a split in society, a division of society into two sectors: the new economy and the old. Above all, integration mechanisms should be created. Perhaps what is most important of all is to create an infrastructure of such a kind that the industries which are not undergoing expansion have the chance to keep up and that population groups on the periphery can be involved. I therefore think there should be investment in computers for primary schools, broadband communications for sparsely populated areas, technology libraries for the public and a public sector which should not be impoverished but, rather, reinforced."@en1
