". – ( Mr President, I would like to say how grateful I am to Commissioner Potočnik for his openness and willingness to engage in dialogue, and to Mrs Locatelli and all the members of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, who have been very constructive and positive in their work on this subject. I understand that petrol prices have now reached USD 55 per barrel. According to the financial analysts, petrol prices are not likely to fall in the foreseeable future, which constitutes a threat to the economy. We need some pretty rapid responses. We need dynamic responses which will produce results within the next few years. The Group considers that these responses need to be contained within the Seventh Framework Programme in terms of investment in energy efficiency and in renewable energy sources, both of which will help resolve the situation in the short term. We are concerned about the priority being given to the hazardous energy sources of the past, such as nuclear energy, which are vulnerable to abuse by international terrorists. We are also uneasy about the massive investment focus on energy programmes like Fusion ITER, which will not provide a single kilowatt of energy in the next 40 or 50 years according to the scientists involved. We would like the Seventh Framework Programme to improve quality of life and the social environment, public health, preventative health, to benefit sustainable urban transport and promote the social science required to provide a balanced overview of research and of the society we are creating. With this in mind, Commissioner Potočnik, we are glad that you recognise the importance of social science. I believe that in the future – and this is my last point – research will be very important, if that science is open and accessible to the general public and the scientific community."@en1
