lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, space is essential for European competitiveness. It is vital that our continent should also be able to develop and produce new technology. European innovations and different components cannot be left out of the market in any possible competitive situation because of trade and other barriers. The rapid development of telecommunications means Europe must have adequate capacity under its own control by means of satellites. As the levels of investment required in this sector are enormous we should support European initiatives to develop space technology through the industry’s umbrella organisation. We do not necessarily need European hero-movie astronauts for this in Europe. The European Space Agency’s satellites will instead observe the important matter of the state of the environment, help in issues of transport and map the Earth’s inner space. Information on this should definitely be allowed to become more widespread in Europe. The European Union’s goal is a knowledge-based economy. That cannot work in any harmonious way without the space factor being involved. In fact it is important that Europe also integrates at the level of the space issue and is able to function properly as seen from space. So many of the problems we have today can be partially solved if we have viable and effective technology in space."@en1
