"Ladies and gentlemen, there cannot be innovations without research competence. Innovation linked to cutting edge science and education is one of the engines of job creation and economic growth. Europe must invest in innovation if it is to develop new products and services. Therefore, as the rapporteur rightly observes, it is important for us to help simplify the mechanisms involved in the framework programmes for research. The coordination of rules and procedures and the simplification of research funding and administration are long overdue. It is difficult for the majority of smaller organisations (high tech start ups or universities and research centres) to cope with the complexity of the current rules. According to this year’s European Innovation Scoreboard, which compares the innovation performance of all EU Member States, Lithuania’s rates are below the EU-27 average. However, it demonstrated good progress and has great potential – Lithuania has one of the fastest Internet connections and one of the highest mobile phone penetration rates in the world. Therefore, it is very important to continue to invest in the development of technologies and improve the implementation of national and European digital agendas. This will make Europe more competitive and will improve quality of life."@en1
