lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this Parliament has supported the adoption of the seventh framework programme in the knowledge that the challenge to improve the competitiveness and development of nations throughout the continent depends on the revitalisation of research opportunities. I believe, however, that the financial effort should be increased. If 3% of investment in the European Union is channelled into research and development by 2010, it will perhaps be possible to reduce the shortfall of about 700 000 researchers that the Union currently suffers. Public funding for research remains necessary in sensitive sectors such as health, energy and the environment, and I believe there is considerable agreement on that in Parliament. Such funding cannot come solely from the European institutions, however. On the contrary, they must press the national governments to increase the financial appropriation for research in their budgets and thus improve working conditions in the area, as regards both the possible development of human resources in the public sector and the promotion of private investment and public-private partnerships. The problems of research and development are not the same across Europe. Working conditions vary, as do the prospects for young researchers and for their transition from academic studies to the job market. In Italy, for instance, the relationship between universities and businesses does not provide proper training and apprenticeship opportunities. There is not even a basic exchange of information. The low rates of pay and limited funding for research drive researchers to emigrate or, more often, to abandon public research in order to try more rewarding paths to personal fulfilment. That is a further reason why I hope that creating the European Research Council can fill the gaps in the national systems. The very large number of amendments tabled on this already excellent report by Mr Buzek attests to the interest and importance that Parliament attributes to research for the development of our continent."@en1
