lpv:translated text	"Madam President, a lot of interesting points were mentioned here this afternoon and I was delighted about what the Commissioner said about the points that we should emphasise in future. I think if we needed a reminder of the perilous state we in Europe are in, we got it this weekend with top economists around the world telling us to get our act together, and saying if we did not pull together we would probably fall apart. Solving the economic crisis is one thing in the short term; in the long term we need growth, we need jobs, and research and innovation are going to be crucial in that regard. For that reason I think the Commissioner is absolutely correct in saying that we need to emphasise simplification, we need to make it easier for women and young people in particular to get access to research funding, and in particular we need to be close to society’s challenges. That is the most important point of all, because there is not much point in doing research on such wonderful topics as the sex life of the toad if it does not lead to jobs and growth in the long term."@en1
