The collapse of socialism in central and eastern Europe had disastrous consequences on research, as it did on all social achievements during the socialist era. Funding fell to a minimum, research institutes closed, researchers abandoned research, there were no incentives for new researchers and, worst of all, there was a brain drain, with the most experienced researchers moving to the west. Former socialist countries with advanced research facilities were reduced to living on miserable handouts from abroad and the ΕU.
The report recommends the participation of candidate countries in the EU framework programme on research almost as a panacea. At the same time, however, it advises linking research to industry and creating a favourable business climate; in other words, it is pushing for the EU model to be adopted and wants research to operate in accordance with market rules. Although no one could object to international scientific cooperation on equal terms, we cannot under any circumstances allow research to serve and be controlled by major financial interests.
That is why the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece did not support the report."@en1
