lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the sixth framework research programme is a serious and fundamental attempt by the European Union to achieve its strategic objectives, that is, to become the most competitive knowledge-economy based area in the world over the next ten years. It will also help it to benefit from progress being made in other corners of the world, while helping it to contribute towards the development of mankind. We all have to meet this challenge, at both European and national level. This means bold funding for research in all sectors, coordinating research at European level, in contrast to the current fragmentary approach, and disseminating it throughout the economic and social fabric. Our success in achieving our political and development objectives will depend directly on how we use the results of research for the benefit of the health and quality of life of our citizens, full employment and social cohesion. I should like to focus on the need for research in the social sector. Our development depends first and foremost on the viability of our social model. The social agenda which we have adopted and are currently applying is the basis for this policy. Economic and social change has led our economy and society into an impasse. Ageing, widespread poverty and social exclusion, large numbers of accidents at work, the need to successfully integrate large groups of citizens such as the Roma, the need to integrate the disabled into the job market, the constant need to help women enter the job market, new risks to employees' health and our increasingly multicultural society in Europe are such that we need scientific research on which to base our policy over coming years. This will encourage European countries with no tradition of social research, which are the very countries which face the worst development problems. Finally, I should like to stress the need for public information and consultation on all our research objectives. Research in all sectors, from biotechnology to social research, is carried out a long way from the ground, in closed laboratories or study firms. Our citizens are unable to read the articles not just in scientific journals, but also in the broadsheets. We need to make an effort to ensure that information is provided on a systematic basis."@en1
