lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I rise in relation to the Seventh Framework Research Programme currently being considered by the institutions. Research is, of course, an area where it makes sense for all our Member States to pool their resources: to have a common programme is much more effective. Part of the programme relates to public health. That has come under pressure from those who argue that it does not meet the priorities of economic competitiveness as defined in the Lisbon Agenda. I should like to refute that argument and call on all those who are considering this programme to refute it. Health research is not only worthwhile in its own right. It is also worthwhile in relation to its economic merits, especially research on respiratory health, which is currently lacking from the programme. Respiratory health problems are Europe’s second biggest killer, accounting for one in four deaths. That costs our health systems EUR 102 million per year and is the major cause of absenteeism from work. We must make sure that area of research forms part of the programme."@en1
