"Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we held an SME summit in Brussels last week, with approximately 600 small-business owners in the city at the invitation of the Commission. The week before that, several hundred innovative enterprises took part in various conferences held at the European Parliament. A week and a half ago, I had occasion to welcome 250 young entrepreneurs who had participated in the ‘Erasmus for All’ programme to a gala dinner. Some 5 000 small-business owners have already taken part in that programme. Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, our words and deeds must point in the same direction! We on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy therefore consider it unacceptable that the Council and Commission have tabled a motion to curtail the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, the Research and Development Programme and the Digital Agenda. This is not what we have promised, and this is not what our voters and entrepreneurs expect of us. We have promised to ensure growth and employment. I would therefore like to encourage you to adopt the motion by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and the Committee on Budgets to restore these lines to their original state. Commissioner, for the past two years – so we are now in the third year – we have been fighting a serious battle together to find sources of ITER funding. We consider this programme to be important, but we have also always emphasised, and would like to emphasise now, the fact that this cannot be to the detriment of other research and development programmes. I sincerely hope that we are nearing the end of this nightmare – which has been going on here for years on this point – and that this matter will be resolved in the next seven-year budget. I encourage you to think about young people, to think about the future and to invest resources in them. Thank you for listening."@en1
