lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to take my turn in congratulating the rapporteur, Mrs del Castillo Vera, on the work she has just done on this subject that is so important for the future of the Union, and, on behalf of the Committee on Culture and Education, I should like to draw your attention to three points. The first point concerns research. I should like once again to point out that the Union has fallen behind in implementing the Lisbon Strategy in the area of education and training. I did, moreover, stress this point in my report entitled ‘Education as the cornerstone of the Lisbon process’, which was adopted last October. It has to be said that things are moving too slowly in this area, which, as the Commissioner was highlighting, ought to be a priority for the future of the European Union. My second point concerns the role of universities in research and the brain drain. I believe that it is more important than ever to highlight the major role assigned to universities in terms of creating and disseminating knowledge. As such, we strongly recommend that more importance be attached to them by means of developing synergies between the higher education sector, research, lifelong learning and the production sector. There is an urgent need for the European Union to stem the brain drain effectively and to put in place all appropriate measures to attract excellence to EU soil. Finally, the last point that I wanted to highlight concerns job creation. There is also an urgent need for the Member States to make better use of the European funds allocated to them. I wanted to draw your attention here to the Member States that have rightly made job creation a key feature of their projects by investing more than 35% of the ESF funds in modernising their education and training systems."@en1
