lpv:translated text	"Madam President, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to make a practical observation to help resolve what I think is one of the essential aspects of our problem, which is to go beyond the statements of principle and somehow get down to more concrete evaluations of our strategy. I take my cue from the subject of human capital, which everyone considers a strategic factor in regaining our competitiveness. During the last parliamentary term, when it was found that 94.5% of Europe’s schools had Internet connections but only 25% of teachers knew how to use the new technologies for teaching purposes, we spent a long time hoping that the learning initiative would materialise. Parliament hoped for action from the national governments, which were supposed to make good use of resources – amounting to EUR 30 billion, or so we imagined – through a system of priorities that would enable them to solve the human capital problem. When it was clear that the governments would not act, it was decided that the Commission should introduce a programme. By that time the billions had shrunk to millions, 44 million to be precise, a derisory amount to solve the problem, and so the proposal was left as just a statement of principle and the priority remained purely theoretical without ever becoming a budget priority. In view of that, I ask that the Commission should be able to assign responsibility to those in power and to promote action in the area of human capital. As the Union budget quite rightly obliges us to provide for agriculture to the tune of 50%, this step would prevent Europe from remaining just a guardian of animal capital rather than the promoter of human capital."@en1
