lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, Europe’s citizens owe a debt of gratitude to the many entrepreneurs who have shown the vision and the courage, the guts and the grit to keep parts of our industry competitive in times of epochal change and to keep people in jobs. The absence of an industrial policy, or at least of a coherent consensus on competitiveness, has hitherto hampered, rather than helped, their efforts. Therefore Liberals welcome the signs that an industrial policy is emerging – the renewed focus on FTAs to secure market access, the plan for a Connecting Europe Facility to create networks for transport and energy and information technology to underpin competitiveness, the investment in research and innovation, such as last week’s announcements on graphene and on human brain mapping, or the investment in the National Composites Centre in my constituency. We also welcome the Energy Roadmap 2050 and its focus on cheaper and cleaner energy and green growth. Commissioner, as you gather in Grenoble, convince your ministers not to allow their Heads of State and Government to cut deeply into the budgets for these things in their search for budgetary savings. Rather sow in their minds the vision of what Europe can achieve if the genius of a free people can be nurtured and nourished. Focus on our investments for the future."@en1
