lpv:translated text	". Mr Potočnik, we Greens are pleased with the new impetus you wish to provide for research and we support this substantial promotion of European research. Nevertheless, not only are we concerned about the budget, but also about the social and environmental ends, because we all want a larger cake. However, of primary importance are the ingredients of the cake and how it is cooked and then, but also extremely important, how the cake of European research is shared out. We want open science, with a fluid and open transfer of knowledge to all sectors of society, and, within this context, we are worried that some patents may represent obstacles to innovation in the case of small and/or young companies. At the same time, we want to see a type of research for which small is beautiful, in which SMEs, small laboratories and small universities are treated as priorities within European programmes. Within this context, we want to create ‘clusters’, groups of small companies at European level, in order to prevent all research from being concentrated within a few projects. In the field of research, we should promote a return to basics, to fundamentals, so that basic scientific research can be supported openly and provided with more funds. We must offer more public support to basic research, with social and environmental objectives in the medium and long terms, rather than restricting ourselves to achieving short-term technological performance. In this regard, there must also be more investment in preventive health and not just in pharmaceutical research, as has happened in the past. Furthermore, we must invest in protecting the climate and not direct all or most of our investment in energy towards nuclear programmes. Renewable energy currently needs a level of support which is at least equivalent to that being given to the ITER or Euratom programmes. We are pleased with Mr Potočnik’s projects in support of social sciences, since they are essential to progress in research into our society. Finally, I would like to call for the creation of an independent European Research Council, with the participation of all the social actors, so that there may be a genuinely fruitful debate, a dialogue, between society and the scientific world."@en1
