lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy has drafted a committee-initiative report on European research policy. It is like a shopping list. The European Parliament is prepared to buy the results of scientific research in these areas. My main message is this: our group is in favour of guaranteeing additional resources for scientific research work. The Commission’s proposal for additional funds under the Seventh Framework Programme is justified. There are fields which it would be beneficial to finance from common funds. It should not be just business that derives the benefit. There are many socio-political and ethical reasons for supporting basic research at university research institutes, which is unconstrained by the interests of big business and the war industry. Joint research projects can be promoted in the best way if they lead to results for which the English would use the word ‘serendipity’. It means to find something by chance that you did not even know you were looking for. The right conditions for serendipity have to be created, and those conditions are established best in international collaboration. The best example of a benefit jointly achieved through a jointly financed project is fusion energy research under the ITER project. That is an area in which the Greens confuse fission with fusion. No EU country would be prepared to undertake research into fusion alone. When there is collaboration, projects start up that would not otherwise. All participants can reap the benefits that result. In the case of ITER, the beneficiaries include countries not in the EU. We have to use the research framework programme to create the right conditions for ‘serendipity’."@en1
