lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is impossible to say something meaningful in two minutes about such a challenging report as the one written by Mrs Plooij without getting very frustrated, because one could say so much more and, more to the point, would to say so much more. I would like to congratulate the Commissioner on his ambition, which is considerable. Trying to create a European research area is an ambitious plan, because this research space is currently lacking and we only have ourselves to blame. We make insufficient resources available, although we all – and Mrs McNally underlined this a moment ago – acknowledge the link between progress, development, and creating prosperity and jobs. This is evident to all of us, yet our governments fail to set aside sufficient funds. This is true for the Member States and regions, some of whose percentage levels are shamefully low. We should, as it were, sound the praises of certain Member States and regions, but should not work on averages. This is why it is good to emphasise cooperation. Pyramids and hierarchies are not really of much use here, because we know that talent bubbles up from below and from all those regions and all those milieus where talent breeds, both male and female, although female talent – and this has been pointed out many times before here – can only ascend to the very pinnacle of academia very slowly. Cooperation, however, requires organisation. And really, the absence of this is something we only have ourselves to blame for. If our organisation of the scientific environment lags behind, we will not achieve a European research area. After all, it is exactly this area, where people can communicate a lot more freely with each other than before, which has to ensure that scientists feel at home in Europe."@en1
