Mr President, we are talking about growth and employment, namely the Lisbon Strategy. Research and innovation are an integral part of the success of the Lisbon Strategy, as is collaboration between science and industry, in other words a knowledge-based economy. Mrs del Castillo Vera’s report, on which I congratulate her, and the European Commission’s proposals accurately highlight what we lack in Europe.
First of all, we lack financial resources. In the 2007-2013 budget, paragraph 1a, competitiveness, was cut the most. It was cut almost by half. Let us reiterate: we cannot achieve success for Europe without investment in research and innovation. We need to increase funding for science and new technologies in all countries. This task is the first and foremost objective for the whole European Council and future presidencies. National budgets are just as important as European budgets. Secondly, we lack ways of expanding knowledge and sharing knowledge. It is vital to create a real partnership within and between Member States and to exploit the potential of the whole Union within the framework of large consortia. It is vital to create a European research and innovation area, as innovation is an important word here, and to make optimal use of resources. Only transparency and exchange of information can ensure synergy between different programmes at Union, national and regional levels. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to create a single information technology programme for the whole Union.
There is, however, another key to the success of the Lisbon Strategy, namely a real single market for goods, labour, services and capital. Without a single market it will be difficult for us to achieve success in research and innovation, science and new technologies. Only a real single market will give us better opportunities for growth and employment."@en1
