lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the EU extends its reach into more and more areas. The problem is that there is no principle for deciding what the EU should do. A sound principle is the one paid lip-service in policy speeches but ignored in decision-making: the subsidiarity principle. That argues against centralising research and development, except as regards very large-scale projects on the lines of Galileo or fusion energy. Research and development bureaucratised in large organisations gives less return on the money put in, not more. There is seldom any reason for Member States to send money to Brussels and then have their researchers ask for it back later. This assessment is particularly valid when it comes to research and development for small and medium-sized businesses. The enthusiasm shown by researchers and businesses comes from the fact that they are conned into thinking that more funds will be available overall. There is nothing to indicate that this is the case. Thank you for your attention."@en1
