We live in a time that demands rapid response to global changes and security threats. When we attempt to formulate and define a policy of common security research, this does not involve irrational fears or ideology, but a very rational policy that will enable a higher degree of security for European citizens. The dangers and threats demand that the problem is dealt with on a European level. And security research, as set out, represents a tool for increasing European competitiveness and achieving the Lisbon objectives. Indeed it represents an area that signifies major research, innovation and technological potential for the European Union.
In this light I would like to express great concern at the potentially fatal consequences that might be suffered by the area of security research if there is no suitable agreement on the financial perspective. If the Council does not follow the guidelines of Parliament and the original proposal from the Commission, there is a serious fear of the termination of new programmes that are now still included in the seventh framework programme. These new programmes include security research. It must be stated clearly that without adequate financial support, we cannot expect good results.
The Kok report has already set out the clear finding that responsibility for achieving the Lisbon objectives lies first and foremost with the Member States, both in decision-making at home and in decision-making on the European level. I therefore call on the Council and the Commission to give their determined support in the negotiations on the financial perspective to mechanisms that will enable the achieving of the Lisbon strategy, and thereby security research. This is indeed important for each individual Member State, and in view of the numerous synergy effects, also for the European integration processes."@en1
