"The report addresses the importance of innovation in all its forms to the development of societies. It does so whilst making significant contributions to a number of areas and making proposals – for example, on the increased dissemination and absorption of innovation in a number of sectors – which we consider opportune.
In the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, which I drafted, I sought to summarise the main points of our view and concerns in this area. On the basis of this draft opinion, it can easily be said that there are clear points of disagreement with the Commission communication. In particular, these focus on aspects also included in this report, which is where some of the contradictions it contains are to be found: the view of innovation as essentially a business opportunity; the emphasis given to the market, to competition, and to harnessing innovation for business purposes; the advocating of the Internal Market and EU patents. Those are the aspects with which we disagree.
As we said during the debate, another issue that was not tackled sufficiently was the risk – very clear from the results of the European Innovation Panel of 2009 – of an ‘innovation divide’ between the countries and regions that innovate most and the rest."@en1
