"The regulations concerning research on the welfare of the Baltic Sea which are contained in the Commission’s proposal introduce a certain important element – the strategic planning stage. Without this stage, we would be dealing only with extensive development of this research. For what we need is a broader plan of action, a better strategy which, apart from the sea itself, will include its drainage area, which currently, as we all know, is suffering severe flooding.
Special attention should also be given to the selection of experts, for the broad range of research which has been proposed cannot be reduced to phenomena which can be reproduced in a laboratory. Here, research carried out in the field is closely connected with territory which falls under the jurisdiction of a particular country. Therefore, EU law has to be reconciled with national law. The Commission’s selection of independent experts should take this fact into account.
Increasing the research capability of the new Member States in the Baltic Sea region should take account of the fact that, firstly, the research potential in these countries is varied and the generally good potential of research staff is accompanied by poorer laboratory facilities. Therefore, I am surprised by the limit imposed of a 25% share of in-kind infrastructure contribution in the common pool. Secondly, for many countries, the ‘common pot’ is not acceptable, both for legal reasons and in view of the fact that it could adversely affect research plans which are currently being put into effect there. Thirdly, the strategic stage of the programme needs time. Better use should be made of this stage.
Firstly therefore, it is necessary to define the research priorities for the Baltic and its drainage areas, and then the participants in the project should invest in their research facilities to make them ready to work on these priorities. Including Russia in this research on equal terms on the basis of an Eastern Partnership is an important matter."@en1
