"Madam President, I would like to thank Ms Matias for her report.
I would especially like to say a number of things to Ms Geoghegan-Quinn: firstly, do not disregard small projects. Silicon Valley was built on small projects. Europe needs a great many of these so that small universities may be brought on board.
Secondly, I believe that what Europe needs is human resources. Large projects should be tied to a scholarship programme so that more grant holders can go to large universities and institutes to receive training.
I think both the Structural Funds and this system should pay less attention to buildings – Europe has a plentiful supply of buildings but is indeed lacking in human resources.
I also believe, Commissioner, that you will find you have the full support of Parliament if Member States are also required, through the European Research Area (ERA), to simplify their procedures. Europe’s efforts at simplification should be met with transparent procedures on the part of the Member States, which will have to commit themselves, given that they will be receiving money.
Commissioner, you will have Parliament’s full support if we aim to achieve simple, transparent Council procedures."@en1
