"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to start by thanking our rapporteur, Mr Caudron, for the tremendous effort he has put into this report. I should also like to thank Commissioner Busquin, the President-in-Office, Mr Marimón, all the shadow rapporteurs in the political groups, the chairman of the Committee on Industry, Mr Westendorp, and all the secretarial staff involved in this procedure for the excellent cooperation which has marked it from the outset. Having studied the outcome, I must say that it is a significant improvement on the original text and, as such, our group will support it. However, there are certain points which I should like to raise regarding the procedure for applying the framework programme and any subsequent programmes. Although the framework programme successfully identifies a whole range of leading-edge subjects for modern research, its orientation is, in my view, excessively narrow, with little room for all the research sectors which deserve support to benefit from funding. Because, objectively-speaking, the framework programme points the way for research by the Member States, I worry that this unilateral orientation may become the rule. Τhe second point which concerns us is where the money will end up. What worries me is that a large slice of the funding will go to industry, with a tiny sliver for universities, research institutes or small research groups, irrespective of the standard of work carried out. Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there is huge research potential in all the Member States of the European Union. If we manage to tap into and fund it and apply the results obtained, we shall have done a very great service to the generations to come."@en1
