I would not talk about injustice; I would prefer to talk about freedom, which we have, and responsibility, which is the best part of freedom, or the other side of the same coin.
When we speak about the ‘brain drain’, it is not only the new Member States versus older Member States. The same happens in the Union versus most competitive partners in the world. When I was in France and Germany they talked about the brain drain to the United States. So either we are aware of the problems and the lack of competitiveness, the lack of value placed on knowledge or the lack of respect for knowledge in Europe, and improve conditions for intellectual property for patents on this continent for so many issues connected to innovation and the transfer of knowledge into real life, the real economy, production and services, or we will comment and lament later on, and maybe even more, because time is passing quickly and globalisation is really influencing our lives.
All our policies, programmes, strategies aim towards this goal. I do not want to anticipate developments in the Commission, but in a few weeks’ time we would like to propose, for example, the establishment of a European institute of technology. Either we create space for a European dimension in knowledge and the transfer of knowledge and we improve together or, as I said before, we will lose time and momentum. I do not want to discuss that at length now, maybe next time I shall say more. The Lahti Summit in October should deal with the ten points for improving innovation in Europe. The first two points are education and universities and an institute of technology, and then there are others.
I think that political awareness of the problem is there. If there is also the political will to deliver, we can find better answers and better situations in the future. We need to work towards that."@en1
