". Mr President, to continue with the football metaphor, we have seen teams like Brazil, which has fielded great players – superb players – but which has not played as a team. When it comes to innovation, the large and the small must play together. The team is Europe, and we all need to combine our efforts in order to succeed. I would like to congratulate Mrs del Castillo Vera on her excellent report and thank her for her open and inclusive attitude to drawing up this proposal. I would also like to emphasise three points. Firstly, when it comes to innovation, small is beautiful. If we want to create stable employment, if we want to instil a new culture that favours innovation, then it has to be instilled in the thousands and thousands of SMEs throughout Europe. The report therefore recommends that particular attention be paid to this point, in order to ensure the participation of small and medium-sized businesses and in order to achieve the necessary change in the field of innovation. Secondly, I would like to point out that innovating also means opening up. It means promoting the flow of information, it means that we need an innovative strategy, in which there is a balance between the protection of industrial property and the free dissemination of technical knowledge and free and unhindered competition. In that way we will be able to promote solidarity, knowledge and greater social cohesion. Finally, I wish to say that innovation is green. Innovation means new methods for strengthening energy efficiency, ecotechnologies and clean production, in order to achieve a more competitive economy that creates more environmental and social well-being."@en1
