"Mr President, before the European Institute of Technology has even been born, its name has already been changed to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. If this is supposed to help it to come into being, I am sure no one will have any objections.
It is worth pointing out that, in parallel to the work going on in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, some important matters have also come before our Budget Committee in connection with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. It has been agreed that about EUR 400 million will be earmarked for this purpose for next year, and by 2013 the budget will be six times greater than this. The problem is, though: who do we take from to give to this Institute, since no provision has been made in the seven-year budget; not a single euro has been allotted. It is as if we were thinking that the Lisbon Strategy, of which this Institute was supposed to form a significant part, is just another piece of paper, and that these are just more politicians’ fairy tales. I mean, the Commission did previously inform the Parliament, formally or informally, of the intention to set up the Institute, and at the same time we did not allocate so much as five euros to it. This demonstrates a certain lack of compatibility, xxx or even some sort of schizophrenia.
My city of Wrocław meets all the criteria to become the headquarters of the Governing Board of a European Institute of Technology. A decision on this should be taken by the European Commission as soon as possible."@en1
