"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to welcome Commissioner Potočnik and thank Mr Buzek for the work carried out with the working group of shadow rapporteurs, which I think achieved some important consensual results. First of all, I should like to highlight the political aspect of the seventh framework programme, which represents a search for excellence at a European level. This is an important aspect because, in the wake of the change in scale that globalisation has forced us to make, it is crucial that research too should be done on a European scale so that it does not run the risk of being erased from the world political and scientific map. The seventh framework programme contains important innovations, such as the European Research Council, which has already been mentioned. I should like also to refer to the technological platforms, which we wanted in committee so that our small, medium-sized and large industries could be fully involved in research, development and innovation efforts. If they all work together, companies should be able to create a favourable climate for development and consequently for their overall competitiveness. Technological platforms are also extremely important because local institutions, universities and research centres take part in them. They are also an appropriate incentive for small and medium-sized enterprises, subject to the participation rules. They may thus provide SMEs with the ability to make and to influence decisions in this context as well. Lastly, I should like to emphasise the importance of science and society. I believe that risk analysis and risk management are examples of the kind of education that we should give people, so that they can develop the ability to make decisions in an informed way. I too am disappointed at the available resources, which are in fact inadequate for the role that research and development ought to play in Europe."@en1
