lpv:translated text	"During the period 19 – 27 July I visited New Zealand as a member of an 11-strong delegation from the European Parliament. This advanced and affluent country with a European spirit lies more than 27,000 km away from Slovakia. Our meetings with the students of the European Institute at the university in Auckland and at Canterbury University in Christchurch were very inspiring. We talked about the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community in the area of research, technological development and demonstration activities and about the opportunities for cooperation between the EU and New Zealand in the areas of science and research. It is for this reason, within the framework of the consultation process, that I support the signing of the Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the government of New Zealand, and I therefore voted in favour of the report of the rapporteur Angelika Niebler. New Zealand is one of the least polluted countries in the world, a fact of which it is justly proud. New Zealanders are guided by the slogan ‘Green, clean and safe’. Hydroelectric power accounts for 2/3 of the country’s electricity output. Massive supplies of hot water are also used to produce electricity. There is no nuclear power at all. I firmly believe that mutual cooperation in the fight against climate change, seeking common approaches in the areas of science, research and innovation, will prove beneficial to both sides."@en1
