"I should like to thank President Prodi for again emphasising research and education, as is his wont, and their importance within the Lisbon process. I should also like to congratulate him for raising the problem of war with Iraq, which is clouding the atmosphere and will have a direct impact on the political and economic future of Europe. We started out with great expectations of the Lisbon process. However, in education, research, lifelong learning and training, it does not appear to be delivering the goods. 3% in research was an important target and the Commission deserves our praise for managing to push it through, but we come at it as if our hands were tied behind our back and we fail to make the necessary progress every year. We talk a great deal about training, but the private sector only invests 2.3% in training and progress with investments in lifelong learning, school-leavers and immigrant groups does not, unfortunately, give us cause for optimism. All this is taking place in a climate which discourages university researchers and teachers because decisions are not followed up with the practical policies needed. Education and training are not, unfortunately, at the top of the agenda, not even the Lisbon agenda. But we still believe they must remain at the heart of the policies, as they were formulated when the Lisbon process was first designed."@en1
