"Mr President, the EU has just celebrated the 60th anniversary of a shared peace at a time when two of the founding countries have just expressed their doubts at the ballot box. Faced with the social effects of globalisation, the moral crisis linked to unemployment and inequality is adding to the democratic crisis, not to mention the budgetary crisis. The final decision on the financial perspectives will be crucial to the credibility and legitimacy of the EU and of its institutions. Two political events are much anticipated. The first is the success of enlargement. It is our duty to reach this stage, in the interests of equality between our countries and our citizens. The contribution recommended by our rapporteur for territorial and social cohesion is necessary, though not adequate: specifically, it lacks increased funding for transport networks. I also support the creation of the growth adjustment fund to help us achieve this objective. The second event is the future: our old industrial continent is in the process of changing and we must level out the territorial, economic and cultural inequalities. It will only be possible to create new products and new services to combine productivity and solidarity if research and innovation are adequately funded. The doubling of the research budget and the objective of 3% of the EU’s GNI by 2010 absolutely must be respected. On these two political conditions, and on the assumption that our ambitions will be funded by their own new resources, I am supporting the reasonable choice of our rapporteur, so that our Parliament can exercise its full authority in the coming negotiations and bring the Council round to its way of thinking."@en1
