"Mr President, Commissioner, I shall not continue the themed link with football. I do, however, wish to express my view that the Lisbon Strategy has failed in respect of growth and employment. Politicians often put blame on globalisation as if it were an anonymous phenomenon that cannot be influenced. It is not. At heart, it is political decisions that govern the impact of globalisation. As regards research and development, they are an investment in the future.
This report, however, refers to area after area in which the EU has thus far failed in research and development. The report highlights factors of significance in changing this situation. I would like to point out that the basis for all successful research and development is a large degree of freedom within research, with as little regulation and control as possible. This means freedom for individual researchers, but also freedom for state and regional aid for research and development. That is often where the knowledge is. For this reason the comprehensive regulation proposed gives rise to a certain amount of concern. What research needs is not more regulations but more freedom and resources.
Like all other policies, the policy on research and development is not gender-neutral. Female researchers have great difficulties in terms both of the recruitment of new researchers and of access to research capital. This uneven distribution obviously has serious consequences for research and development. If the Lisbon Programme’s research and development programme is to be a success we must exploit the skills of female researchers. I support the idea put forward in the report that future research must prioritise the environment and sustainable development. This, together with the exploitation of female skills in research, could mean the difference between success and failure."@en1
