lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there are a number of points in Mr Linkohr's report with which I agree. They include recognising the role of research and researchers and the need to increase expenditure and ascribing the importance to basic research which it deserves. For that I should like to thank our rapporteur. On the other hand, however, there are also extremely dangerous points in keeping with the more general policy of commercialising everything. They include the reference to competition-orientated research in paragraph 5, the approach to intellectual property rights from the point of view of the commercial interests of private undertakings in paragraph 26 and public intervention for market-orientated research and financing which abides by the rules of competition of the European Union in paragraph 32. We also have a proposal for tax incentives for private research activities, while the main international cooperation which appears to be of interest is at the level of undertakings in paragraph 41. The most worrying of all is that the suggested criterion for measuring the success of each research activity is if it has a positive economic result, while the introduction of a corresponding evaluation system is proposed in paragraph 37. The above proposals and everyday political practice in research and higher education make the positive points in the report sound like a simple wish list. Thus, I disagree with the overall orientation of the final version of the report. We face the demolition of the system of values developed over previous centuries and the erection of a new structure founded on commercialisation and corporate profit."@en1
