"May I add here that R[amp]D is of vital importance if European industry is to be able to tackle the competitive challenges it faces in the medium to longer term. It therefore seems appropriate for the Commission to examine whether any adaptation of the existing rules in this area is needed. This work has already started in collaboration with industry.
I should like to add that the Commission recently adopted – Mr Caudron made a reference to that – its proposal for the Framework Programme on research and innovation for 2002 to 2006. The proposal opens up the possibility of supporting shipbuilding-related research and innovation within several of the new proposed actions. Examples are: "flexible and intelligent production systems, included in the third priority theme; intelligent transport, included in the sixth priority theme; or under the heading 'anticipation of scientific and technological needs of the Union'".
I note in this connection that R[amp]D aid and other types of aid allowed under the shipbuilding regulation – because, as you know, there are several – will not result in the same level of aid as offered by operating aid. It appears, however, that the available measures concerning R[amp]D aid have not been fully explored and exploited. I therefore believe that Member States and industry should make a bigger effort there."@en1
