"Mr President, I would above all like to note the great importance of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP 7) for a small Member State, and especially for its young scientists. Taking into consideration the very poor condition of the scientific infrastructure in the new Member States, the funds of FP 7 will not be sufficient to liquidate this, but governments will have to significantly increase the budget allocated for science, at least in Estonia.
A second issue I would like to raise is energy. I hope that the Council will support Parliament’s recommendation to spend, in the framework of FP 7, EUR 150 million more on energy-related research and development activities than the figure offered by the country currently holding the presidency. Of course, even this amount is minuscule considering the challenges of the energy sector. The majority of this amount, however, goes to nuclear energy and not to new sustainable technologies.
I agree with the previous speakers who have already expressed their dissatisfaction about this matter. A disproportionate share goes to energy technologies based on fossil fuels. The same goes for Estonia, where oil shale research holds first place in terms of state funding. It is time to change these proportions!"@en1
