".
The European research area has become a key factor in the EU’s new strategic objective for the coming decade, which is to become the most competitive and most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world.
For Europe to achieve this aim, it will need 700 000 more researchers by 2010. In so doing, it will be meeting the objective of dedicating 3% of Member States’ GDP to the activities of technological research and development.
The need for more researchers must be filled initially by adopting a range of integrated measures, such as boosting the appeal of science to young people, improving career prospects for researchers in the EU and increasing opportunities for training and mobility. Given that the EU will probably not find that large number of researchers in its territory, however, steps must be taken to attract more researchers from third countries.
Lastly, I welcome the importance that the proposal attaches to family reunification. The difficulties experienced in researchers bringing their families to the European area constitutes a major obstacle to their mobility and may lead them to choose a different career.
I voted in favour."@en1
