"Mr President, innovation will change our economy and society and should also create jobs; that makes innovation one of the European Union’s most important initiatives. I would therefore ask that all the Directorates General of your Commission jointly adopt a more holistic approach. For example, there are, in fact, innovation partnerships currently under way which fall mainly within the remit of a single directorate general. However, the approach needs to be more holistic. I also think that the funds should be merged to a greater extent and that we should prevent fragmentation. Ideally, we should have a single fund, which ought to include structural funds, as well. I ask you to really look into this and create, in cooperation with Member States, a single, powerful momentum for innovation.
Just one more thing about energy. We are always particularly interested in the big picture. The picture needs to be big when it comes to innovation, too, but sometimes the answer is to be found in the small things. It seems to me that very little attention is being paid to locally generated energy and, yet, that is key to our citizens’ empowerment. Could I and all my fellow Members here then ask that you establish binding targets?"@en1
