lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank my colleague, Mr Caudron, for his work in preparing this report. He has done some excellent work in a very difficult situation, as the programme has been tossed around among the institutions. The ethics of research are an important and controversial issue and everyone’s opinion must be heard. Now at long last we must decide on the Sixth Framework Programme, an enormous funding framework providing finance for supranational and transnational European research projects. It is necessary to invest in European research, but after this Member States will be able to decide what sort of research they will be financing out of their own budgets in terms of ethical values. The preparation of the Sixth Framework Programme is a prime example of inefficiency and bureaucracy, for which the framework programmes have been criticised for years now. It can take many man-years to find projects, prepare them and produce the various reports. All bureaucracy of this sort is depriving actual research of resources. The programme’s structure must be as light as possible so that we obtain the best forces possible for research and rapidly achieve results to serve industry, thereby increasing European competitiveness in accordance with the conclusions of Lisbon. The gap between the United States of America and us is growing all the time. Controversial questions such as the use of cannabis for medical purposes can play no part in this programme. The Sixth Framework Programme must address and emphasise the importance of research developments in those areas in which real European added value can be achieved. Despite all the decisions and effects, it is important that we now take decisions on the Sixth Framework Programme and that it is allowed to commence on time."@en1
