"Madam President, this is our first opportunity to acknowledge the importance of this debate on the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament's agreement to relaunch, and above all, to take the necessary practical measures in order to create, at long last, a Europe which is genuinely more competitive and innovative, while at the same time continuing to strengthen its best and most valuable asset: the European social model, with the quality of life and social rights that it guarantees the European citizens. I particularly welcome Commissioner Verheugen's emphasis on innovation and funding, because efforts to give young Europeans better training, to improve training and skills among workers and employers, to increase the number of women at work with equal professional opportunities while maintaining a commitment to family life: all of these activities we are advocating today as MEPs will not be enough if we are unable to promote the public and private investment required to establish infrastructures in Europe that underpin economic development, and to make free circulation of goods, services and people a reality throughout the European Union. This is currently being worked out in practice through the thirty trans-European network projects, which, like the Lisbon Strategy, have until now suffered from a certain degree of apathy and from funding problems on the Member States' side. The European Parliament urges and encourages the Commission to redouble its efforts to convince the Member States – and would like to offer its assistance and support in doing so. We also call on the Commission to use all available resources to be more creative and to identify potential synergies between the three networks (transport, energy and telecommunications) in order to reduce costs and obtain adequate funding. We also support the amendment on a sustainable development model for transport – something we feel is essential – including modernisation and technological innovation for transport."@en1
