"Madam President, the discussion which ended a few minutes ago dealt with very similar issues. All the speakers described the situation very well. In order to develop, one must invest. That includes investment in scientific research and innovation. Parliament’s motion for a resolution features this truism, as well as a detailed analysis of the situation and the direction that future actions should take. However, the statements that Europe does not seek to acquire new knowledge, that it cannot share knowledge and that it does not support knowledge financially all have a very ominous ring to them.
This must change! We must begin to invest more in basic research, and we have to expand the scope of public funding for research and development. Otherwise, we may be shooting ourselves in the foot. Unless we take the necessary steps, we will move from being a modern and dynamic Europe, which is regarded as attractive by many citizens of other countries, to being a technical, technological and economic backwater which Europeans will not want to live or work in, let alone like."@en1
