lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Commission and the rapporteur are preparing for a more innovative Europe. This report calls for the networks to be strengthened at European level. This dissemination of gathered knowledge should not lead to less competition, which is another aspect of innovation, for what are the areas in which cooperation actually reinforces the ability to innovate? Tax benefits are in any case not a very good incentive. They fragment the market and can lead to a shift in activities to the cheapest region. Market-oriented attraction is preferable. The rapporteur also underlines the importance of education. This is an area in which only the Member States have authority. In this connection, it is not the international orientation or the mobility of education and research itself, but the results, that deserve recognition. National initiatives promoting the innovative environment and acknowledging achievements will have to increase competitiveness. The aspects that make European regions into an attractive environment in terms of innovation are the knowledge available, the labour market and other local factors. A government should therefore have a vision of regional profiles it would like in future. However, regional specialisms can be adversely affected either by tax measures or by uniform measures which are said to result in a loss of quality for Europe as a whole. The Commission proposal is typified – more so than the report – by a realistic approach from the bottom upwards. If necessary, a joint approach could play an additional role to promote networks. In that way, the Union can back the measures which increase the Member States’ ability to innovate, both individually and jointly."@en1
