"Madam President, I do not know what really happened, but I would like to speak as a draftsperson for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE). I am very happy to offer the PSE Group time because this is a rare case when the European Socialists, the ITRE Committee and the Committee on Budgets unanimously agreed. So I can speak as whatever. The unanimous agreement is there. Regarding Chapter 1a and Chapter 5 on R&D management, we all think that it is just not acceptable to have the cut Council introduced compared to the Commission draft proposal. Cuts are simply not acceptable in the fields of economic recovery and economic stimulus, any policies regarding entrepreneurs and SME policies on the Digital Agenda, innovation policies, R&D policies, space policies and programmes like ITER. The budget has to be in line with the fine words of our treaty and of our policies like EU 2020, the great Innovation Union, digital access to all, the Next Generation Network, and so forth. Our words have to be in line with the numbers provided in the budget. So the budget has to be in line with the challenges of the global world in the 21st century. We can stop Europe, but we cannot stop the world developing and there is therefore unanimous agreement in our committee – first, to ask for the budget to be restored to the Commission proposal – which was already a compromise because we would have needed more – and then, to find additional resources for the new policies under the Lisbon Treaty, namely the space policy and ITER. The show must go on. We are prepared, in the conciliation procedure, to find a compromise which is best for European citizens living in the 21st century."@en1
