Mrs Quisthoudt-Rowohl’s report proposes that we adopt the Council decision and conclude the scientific and technological cooperation agreement, in particular on research in the field of biotechnology, optoelectronics, medical research and space travel, information technologies, telecommunications and software development.
From the point of view of research policy, I agree with the rapporteur’s statement that ‘there is no reason why the agreement should not be extended’ and there are advantages to maintaining economic and political links with Israel, which would enable the European Union to play an effective role in the region. The agreement has also been warmly welcomed by the scientific community, which sees clear advantages in maintaining cooperation.
Returning to the fundamental political issue, this constructive partnership could help to ease dialogue between the parties that are today in conflict or to open new dialogue between them, in the hope that Palestinian researchers and institutions will also be able to cooperate with Israeli and European institutions. We must also bear in mind that those who are committed to construction will find it hard to support destruction. I voted in favour."@en1
