As I have said on several occasions, the knowledge-based society is more than a mere aspiration; it is already a tangible reality. In this respect, I agree with, support and encourage all actions that seek to provide a practical basis for political statements such as the Lisbon Strategy of 2000 and the
Europe plan adopted in Seville in 2002.
I therefore voted in favour of the report, although I am convinced that the specific sums involved should be gradually increased. If, as the Commission proposed, the Community funding of projects put forward under the
Ten programme will rise from 10% to 30%, with the concomitant reduction in the number of projects approved – since the overall value of appropriations allocated will remain the same – there must be a real increase in the appropriations that are made available. It is in these areas and not in whimsical legal texts looking into the future that European solidarity must be grounded and on which we must construct a genuine EU that is increasingly solid and ingrained.
As the rapporteur observed, various projects ‘whose potential has been recognised’ end up never seeing the light of day due to a lack of funding at implementation stage. This is all the more regrettable because we know that some of these projects, such as
Health
Learning and
Security, could bring enormous benefits to our citizens."@en1
