"Deploring the fact that the European Union is lagging behind the United States and Japan, the report proposes a series of measures claiming to encourage ‘innovation promotion and progress in research’. All the proposed measures are centred on the idea that it is the task of the public authorities to finance the research, directly or indirectly, but that it is private interests who will profit from it. This ranges from subsidies to what the report calls ‘innovative enterprises’ to measures to encourage ‘synergy between businesses and universities’, which means that as far as research is concerned the latter will be subordinate to the former. In its explanatory statement, the report not only preaches the promotion of ‘entrepreneurship at the educational level’ but also says that ‘obstacles to mobility arising from social security systems should be removed’. The title of the report is ‘Innovation in a knowledge-driven economy’. It would be more accurate to talk about the subordination of knowledge, research and public money to the interests of the bosses in a profit-driven economy. Since we are opposed to both the spirit and the letter of this report, we have voted against it."@en1
