lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the programme for research and technology is a real step forward. It is one of the most important building blocks that will allow us to compete at world level and it is an answer to globalisation. This European scale and the focus on excellence are what give this European endeavour intrinsic added value. Although we desperately need top research at European level, we also require a major and steady effort from the Member States and the regions. As shadow rapporteur for capacities – which falls within the research infrastructure – along with Mr Buzek, I have carefully examined a possible synergy with structural funds, which would enable high-quality structures and research infrastructure to be developed, and innovation and production to be supported. I am pleased that during the vote on structural funds 2007-2013 next month, this focal point will be given extra prominence. In a nutshell, we need to invest less in asphalt, concrete and roads, and more in research infrastructure and training our people. That is what Europe must set its sights on in the next couple of years. In that way, more specific research infrastructure can be created and developed. In actual fact, with limited resources, compared with big research projects that use up vast amounts of structural funds, we can double the budget. That is a different tune. It can be done. I have a question for Commissioner Potočnik. Will we during the halfway review be assessing both structural fund policy and its results, as well as this policy? I have not many early indications as yet. I particularly have the 2013-2020 period in mind when I say this. Finally, I am pleased that a number of my amendments, including those with regard to medical examinations, healthy food, aviation and logistics, have been adopted. As for stem cell research, I take a reserved and conscientious line. I will be backing the amendment that was tabled jointly with Mrs Niebler."@en1
