Vi vil dog alligevel begynde med konstruktivt at glæde os over, at dette bidrag til at skabe en bedre integration af det europæiske forskersamfund forsøger at bevare ligevægten mellem grundforskning og anvendt forskning for at bekæmpe en flugt af vores bedste hjerner, at gøre arbejdsløshed blandt de unge forskere til et hovedproblem i en EU-politik, der er bevidst om realiteterne, og endda for at fastlægge den afgørende rolle, virksomhederne spiller inden for forskning og udvikling.
Let us begin, however, in a spirit of constructive criticism, by welcoming the fact that this contribution towards achieving better integration of the European scientific community seeks to safeguard the balance between fundamental and applied research in order to combat the brain drain, to prioritise the problem of unemployment among young researchers within a European policy which is aware of the reality of the situation, and to recognise the leading role played by businesses in research and development.
