"Mr President, I should like to add my congratulations to those already expressed to the rapporteur, to the Spanish presidency and to Commissioner Busquin who has been exemplary in his patience, understanding and respect for Parliament's opinions.
Clever people all over Europe are waiting to hear what we decide this week, because next year they will be able to use their brains on our behalf. We will give them the money to do work which will help our economy and our society. There is a strong correlation between research effort and economic success, and the European Union at least is giving an example and showing that it understands that connection.
We have been able to reach a very wide consensus in Parliament across political and national boundaries on the Sixth Framework Programme. We are coming up with a programme which highlights key areas for research but at the same time expresses the wishes of the citizens of Europe for scourges like cancer and other illnesses and for environmental dangers to be combated with intelligence.
This is one part of the European research area. Member States must do the rest. It is their responsibility. The European Union is doing its part. Thank you to those who have enabled more money to be spent on the important area of science and society which includes a detailed examination of ethics. We in the PSE Group will not support amendments on ethics, but we appreciate the declaration which has been brought forward.
At the end of a long process, may I thank once again our excellent rapporteur who has worked in a remarkable way, our shadows and everyone else involved. Clever people of Europe, the money is on its way!"@en1
