lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am very pleased that the basic, underlying idea concerning how we are to achieve better development in Europe is now the knowledge-based economy. I think that this is the answer to a very large number of problems. I also think it is right to focus on education, research and innovation, dealing with each of these areas separately but also in the context of the other two. I also think that the technology platforms will serve a very useful purpose. It is good that the social sciences are included in this connection. What we need to focus on is, of course, the infrastructure surrounding research, about which we have not yet had a great deal of discussion. In this context, I should like to raise two matters that are of concern to me. The first relates to the way in which European researchers experience professional and social conditions at a personal level. We see how, in the current situation, large numbers of people are leaving research for other jobs because they find it impossible to carve out careers and create good bases for family life, given the rules and conditions we lay down for them. This is, of course, all the more regrettable now we know that, with this new research policy, we shall require not fewer, but twice as many, researchers. I want to know what measures the Commission intends to take in this area. The second matter of concern to me is, of course, industry’s share of the total resources allocated to research. The general trend in all the Member States is for this to go down instead of up. I want to know what the Commission is doing to make industry more enthusiastic about investing more in research and development. Now that we are seeing the framework for a new European research policy, we must, finally, at the same time also think about how to translate these research results into job opportunities. I should therefore also like to see an initial fundamental framework programme for innovation."@en1
