"The main objective of the Lisbon Strategy is to promote competitiveness within Europe and in doing so to keep up with other global economies such as the US and the new emerging Asian centres (China, India). Part of this strategy is the establishment of the European Institute of Technology, which has gained strong support within the PPE-DE Group. I have been following with growing interest the beginnings of this Institute, which will require significant financial support to enable it to accomplish its goals. These goals are vital for maintaining the EU industrial, competitive and innovative base. I therefore call for an increase in the budget which has already been approved. I would stress that this is a project that must succeed, and in this context it is particularly important, in my view, to promote innovation, which brings with it progress and competitiveness. In this respect, I feel that it is appropriate to include the term ‘innovation’ in the Institute’s name, originally supposed to be the European Institute of Technology and Innovation. This initiative needs to have an important mandate in the field of the knowledge-based economy and in promoting research and innovation within the EU. I would like to express my admiration for the energy and determination of Commissioner Figeľ in his implementation of this project."@en1
