"To begin with, I would like to congratulate Mr Buzek for his excellent work, which will be instrumental in attaining the Lisbon Strategy goals. I agree with the rapporteur that research and development are multipliers of growth; therefore, it is necessary to ensure greater involvement of the business sector in the research effort. I welcome the Commission’s proposal to more than double the EU research budget in the coming budget period and to improve the regulatory and administrative environment, particularly by emphasising the transparency of the evaluation process and by minimising project preparation costs. We need new technologies for the environmental, transport and energy sectors. Research must also be advanced in the healthcare sector, targeting in particular cardiovascular and infectious diseases, transplantation and novel drugs. However, I disagree with the original proposal for financing those types of research that are prohibited in some Member States and that contravene the principles of protecting human life and dignity from conception to natural death. I have in mind the invasive research of live human embryos and the harvesting for research purposes of oocytes from women. I firmly believe that the Seventh Framework Programme can secure better conditions for researchers and university students, and broaden their cooperation with top expert teams. This will speed up research into many scientific problems that impact the quality of life enjoyed by EU citizens."@en1
