"Madam President, this question is a very important for at least three reasons: firstly, we must think about energy security, because the day is going to come when fossil fuels run out; secondly, our climate change targets for 2020 or, as some people have advocated, 3020 or even 4020; and thirdly, and very importantly, we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels that come from sometimes unstable and dictatorial regimes.
So time is not on our side and one of the areas which requires grave attention is that of research and innovation. And I am worried about duplication in that area.
I learned recently there were 45 different groups doing research into salmonella bacteria. Now, if this could happen with salmonella bacteria, you could have 450 groups doing the same research into renewable energies, for example, wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy and wave energy.
So I want to ask the Commission what plans they have to coordinate this research so that the best use is made of resources in terms of getting the technology we need."@en1
