lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, research and innovation are the basic tools for implementing the Lisbon strategy. The Seventh Framework Programme has presented us with a unique opportunity to move towards this goal by improving the way we exploit the intellectual potential of the European Union’s 450 million citizens, including its almost 80 million new citizens in the new Member States. The Seventh Framework Programme should accelerate European integration, and it should provide not only for a much-needed and significant rise in funding, but also for measures under which this funding will be put to effective use. This will only be possible if entirely new and innovative methods are devised for implementing European policy on science. The main priority should be to alter the criteria according to which funds are distributed, as this will make it possible to establish centres of expertise at institutions where the researchers are based. Students from Central and Eastern Europe do not wish to be treated as an afterthought, or sometimes merely as the odd ones out, in ‘Centres of Excellence’ programmes, as is the case under the current Sixth Framework Programme. Two questions come to mind in this connection. The first is whether the concept of ‘excellence’ is not being misused here as a strange kind of curse, which can later be invoked to justify an unequal distribution of funds. We should not strive for excellence only with regard to gaining and spending funds. The second question that arises concerns the kind of objective criteria for the distribution of funds provided for in the Seventh Framework Programme. I thank you."@en1
