". Madam President, Mr Lewandowski, I am not worried, I am angry. Not with you personally, but with the people in the Directorates-General for Research and Innovation and for Energy, who are in the process of doing away with one of the most sensible programmes we ever had within the European budget, namely the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme. Studies in relation to offshore wind energy in the North Sea, training workshops for government civil servants on the implementation of the EU’s Buildings Directive, training courses for architects and engineers on how to build near-zero energy buildings, networks between progressive mayors in Europe – the list goes on and on. Why is all this to be destroyed? Why? If Ms Geoghegan-Quinn and Mr Oettinger fail to come up with a concrete project, then we, as parliamentarians, will be forced to resurrect the old Competition and Innovation Programme (CIP) and to restore the Horizon 2020 programme to what it should be: a separate research programme and a well-organised innovation programme. Those colleagues here present will be aware of the importance we attach to this programme. We expect a swift and specific response in writing both from Ms Geoghegan-Quinn and from Mr Oettinger. The abolition of the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme is poison in a time in which we must garner support for Europe among its citizens. We are turning our backs on those people in Europe who are in favour of European policy. This is unacceptable."@en1
