"The Lisbon Strategy requires that 3% of the Member States’ GDP should be invested in research, two thirds originating from the private sector.
Only a very small number of European regions reached this goal. In 2004, 42% of European companies carried out research on their activities and Member States invested only 1.84% of their GDP on research. In 2006, 35% of the EU active population worked in the field of science and technology.
Education is essential for the future of the EU. It should be accessible to everybody, either rich or poor, living in either the urban or rural environment. The quality of European education should be measured depending on the graduation rate and the admission rate to the next education level. We need a new Social Europe, in which its citizens should have priority.
Having regard to the fact that both the European Union and its Member States will approve their budgets for 2008 in the autumn, I require that the investments in education and research have priority in the European Union."@en1
