lpv:translated text	"Mr President, although I can see that scientific research is both beneficial and necessary, it remains to be seen whether the approach adopted in the Locatelli report is the most efficient way to achieve a more innovative Europe. Firstly, how effective can measures at European level be if it is the Member States that have powers and responsibilities in the relevant fields? In the report, it is proposed that activities that take place in the Member States should be co-funded with EU resources. This proposal would provide EU funding for students, research institutes and facilities, as well as communication with the public about the importance of science; areas that the Member States promote many times more effectively, and so there are more effective ways of spending European funds in this area; consider how much of the red-tape and administrative burden could be cut in international cooperation and in the mobility of researchers. Secondly, the Commission communication on research policy guidelines lacks, to my mind, a strategic statement about research that is punishable in the Member States. Surely it is unacceptable for Community funds to be used to support such research? Research involving the destruction of human embryos springs to mind. If Community funding used for such contentious research, this means that Member States will not benefit equally from the European research initiatives. Can the Commissioner express a view on this? Finally, the ambition of the European institutions to make their mark in the field of research does not necessarily lead to more and better research in Europe."@en1
