"Madam President, Commissioner, our competitiveness and prosperity depend on our ability to develop sustainably. Research and innovation are therefore essential. New energy efficiency technologies such as hydrogen, fusion, LED light, and solar and wind power are important, for example. Energy consumption in Europe is growing, even though it should be falling. We cannot live like this. The high cost of energy hits the poorest. In my view, the Commission should establish a social programme for the supply of energy for our poorest citizens. It is said that without solidarity there will be no Union. I suggest introducing a barometer to gauge solidarity throughout the EU. In addition to the results of opinion polls and internal market infringement proceedings, Eurostat and the Commission should publish a wider comparative evaluation of the Member States. We need to find out openly and simply and in comparative format to what extent countries are fulfilling their promises – in other words, how much solidarity there is between us. The schemers should be penalised. Is the publication of a solidarity barometer appropriate and necessary? What does Commission Vice-President Wallström think? It might at least help the public understand better what is going on. It is important that we get the framework programme on research and development through, and certain other programmes as well."@en1
