"First of all I should like to thank the rapporteur for proving that we can turn ‘globalisation’ to our advantage by responding appropriately to contemporary social processes, despite the fact that this word resonates across Europe as a threat.
In particular, she has brought our attention to three areas of weakness: the generation of new knowledge, cooperation in generating and using new knowledge, and funding. I should also like to draw attention to three areas that will, in my opinion, be crucial to the successful implementation of the Lisbon Programme: first of all, research; secondly synergising national and European policies and, finally, the European Technology Institute.
Firstly, the Commission has, in cooperation with the European Parliament and the Council, submitted a suitable proposal for the 7th Framework Programme for Research. We must bring negotiations on this research programme to a close as soon as possible so that we can start implementing it in time. Financial resources for this programme were pruned considerably during the financial perspective negotiations, which is why the research budget must be implemented in its entirety. There is no justifiable reason for any further reductions in these resources.
Secondly, EU–level measures can encourage individual Member States to take their own measures. We will only achieve satisfactory results if we combine EU–level action with that made by individual Member States. I therefore urge the Commission to follow carefully the action taken by individual states and give public prominence to examples of successful states or successful practice.
Thirdly, it is also important to synergise areas of education, research and development, on the one hand, and economy on the other. It is important that the Commission acts to promote such cooperation – I am referring here to the European Technology Institute. In order that this proposal should not remain merely a political project, we must be acutely aware of the views of all interested parties. We have to foster genuine growth within the European Research Area and prevent finances from being cut further and used for the expansion of bureaucracy. Thank you!"@en1
