lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy actually found it easy to write a report on this agreement, our opinion being, in essence, that we must, as far as at all possible, involve all the states in our geographical vicinity in our research and development programmes. We have to ensure that we stabilise and support their small business sectors and improve their infrastructures. Why is this such a cause for our concern? It is so, quite simply, because we depend on them and they on us. If, in certain of these states, there are unsafe nuclear power stations, then, should anything happen, its consequences directly affect us, simply because of their geographical situation. If, then, we endeavour to export as much as possible of our knowledge and expertise to them, we will be doing so in a win-win situation. It is for that reason that it matters to us that our aid programmes, TACIS being one example, should, as well as providing support, help countries to help themselves, so that developing states do not have to make all the mistakes we made in the course of our industrial history. We are also, let me add, dependent on the region for our energy supply, one example being the transport of crude oil. It follows that it is in our own interests that pipelines should be safe, that the tankers arriving here should be safe and not pollute our waters. If, then, the South Caucasus enjoys technological progress, it also, and at the same time, means safety and progress for us. We are grateful to the rapporteur for being so willing to take our suggestions on board, and also to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy for the excellent cooperation we have enjoyed with them."@en1
