lpv:translated text	"( Madam President, Mr Rübig's paper certainly is a fine document, which we support. The Commission's document is also commendable, and makes enjoyable reading. So, now innovation is to form the basis for know-how – a knowledge-driven economy. While Europe was still at the discussion stage, we were in an information-based economy, and so we learned to perfect ourselves all the time like candidates in a beauty contest. The next stage is of course the civilised society to which we all, whether engineers or singing teachers, are striving. Of course it is true that bureaucracy is one barrier in this work of innovation; we ought to have programmes which act like fast lanes for innovations – this is the first requirement. Secondly, creating a creative and rewarding atmosphere is of the essence, and this will be difficult. Thirdly, the operational programme should incorporate aid specifically to innovative firms or corporations in the SME sector, since – as already stated – 80 percent of taxes and 60 percent of jobs come from this sector. Fourthly, protection of the creative input of employees must be up to scratch, so that barriers to such input do not arise, and the same goes for reward. Allow me once again to repeat that this creative leadership is very important, and it is not very common. Creative leadership demands – within firms as elsewhere – equality, trust and fairness. It would also be a good idea to set up ‘innovation banks’, from which firms and other players could purchase and acquire innovations for practical application, and to which inventors and innovators could transfer them. Such activity would be one way to accelerate the exploitation of innovations, and would create this type of good and rational framework"@en1
