lpv:spoken text	"A Uachtaráin, caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil mé ag baint taitneamh as an díospóireacht seo agus molaim na Feisirí as ucht a bpaisin, go háirithe an rapóirtéir an tUasal Tarabella agus daoine cosúil le Malcolm Harbour, cathaoirleach an Choiste um an Margadh Inmheánach agus um Chosaint an Tomhaltóra, agus an Coimisinéir Barnier a bhfuil gaisce déanta aige arís san ábhar seo. Madam President, we have seen how public procurement is so important. For instance, in trying to get free trade agreements with countries like Japan, it has certainly been a stumbling block. Thankfully we are now getting to grips with our own public procurement, and I think the new proposals are going to be tremendously beneficial to European industry. I come to this from the point of view of the Committee on Industry, Research and Industry, of which I am honoured to be a Member, and particularly in relation to four areas: SMEs, innovation, energy efficiency and fiscal responsibility. It is good that we are simplifying the process so that SMEs can benefit, particularly through the facility to break contracts into smaller lots. That, too, will help SMEs, on which we are so dependent to get out of the economic crisis and create jobs and growth in the economy. Innovation is a very important area, because procurement has a responsibility in driving technological progress. We have seen that in regard to the jet engine, computers, the internet, etc., and again, innovation is crucial to our future and especially the competitiveness of Europe. On Energy efficiency, we have to meet the 2020 targets, and I welcome the rules on that. Regarding fiscal responsibility, life cycle costs as well as upfront costs have to be taken into consideration."@en1
