"I voted for the European Parliament report on the impact of the financial crisis on the defence sector in EU Member States, which notes with concern that recent budget cuts are continuing a persistent pattern of Member States under-investing and underspending in the areas of security and defence for more than a decade. Promoting a European Defence Technological and Industrial Base can create sustainable jobs for European citizens in EU defence industries.
I should stress that security research needs to be maintained as an independent component in the next Horizon 2020 programme. The scope of the ‘Security’ theme should be expanded to reflect the necessity for innovation and technology transfer between the civilian and the defence industries. Just as the results of civilian research often have defence applications, the spin-offs from defence research frequently benefit the whole of society, as in the case of the Internet and GPS. We think that, in the long run, more specific focus on defence research could be envisaged in the next framework programmes, in order to stimulate European collaborative research and help pool dispersed national funds."@en1
