СТАНОВИЩЕНА КОМИСИЯТА ПО ПРОМИШЛЕНОСТ, ИЗСЛЕДВАНИЯ И ЕНЕРГЕТИКА
OPINION of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy
на вниманието на Комисията по бюджети
for the Committee on Budgets
Комисията по промишленост, изследвания и енергетика приканва водещата комисия по бюджети да включи в предложението за резолюция, което ще приеме, следните предложения:
The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy calls on the Committee on Budgets, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
Посочва предизвикателствата, стоящи пред Европейския съюз и целите от Лисабон и приветства увеличението на бюджетните кредити по различните бюджетни редове от предварителния проектобюджет за 2008 година, и по-специално тези за научни изследвания, конкурентоспособност и новаторство, за Трансевропейски транспорт и енергийни мрежи, както и за образование и обучение;
Points to the challenges facing the European Union, and to the Lisbon objectives and welcomes the increases in the appropriations under various headings of the 2008 preliminary draft budget, particularly those for research, competitiveness and innovation, for the Trans-European transport and energy networks and for education and training;
Приветства по-специално мерките на Комисията в областта на изследванията и новаторската дейност с оглед постигането на целите на стратегията от Лисабон; подчертава важността на Европейския съвет по изследвания (ЕСИ), който от 2008 г. нататък ще отговаря за прилагането на програмата "Идеи" в рамките на Седмата рамкова програма за изследвания, технологично развитие и демонстрационни дейности (2007-20013) (РП7), и която ще бъде подкрепена от изпълнителна агенция, позволяваща й да изпълнява пълноценна роля на паневропейска агенция за финансиране на пределните научни изследвания;
Especially welcomes the Commission's undertakings in the field of research and innovation with a view to achievement of the goals of the Lisbon strategy; underlines the importance of the European Research Council, which, from 2008 onwards, will be responsible for implementing the 'Ideas' programme within the Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) (FP7), and which will be supported by an executive agency, allowing it to play a full role as a pan-European funding agency for frontier research;
Подкрепя създаването на Европейски институт по технология (ЕИТ), който ще стимулира новаторството и чиято насоченост ще бъде тясно свързана с изследванията, предприемачеството и образователната политика; настоятелно приканва Комисията да изясни, как ЕИТ ще бъде финансиран и очаква по-скоро отпускането на допълнителни финансови средства, а не намаляване на финансовите ресурси в поддръжка на РП7;
Supports the creation of the European Institute of Technology (EIT) which will stimulate innovation and whose direction will be closely linked to research, entrepreneurship and education policies; urges the Commission to clarify how the EIT will be financed and expects additional financial appropriations rather than any reduction in the financial resources backing FP7;
Припомня важността на укрепването на капацитета в рамките на триъгълника на познанието, състоящ се от образование, научни изследвания и новаторска дейност и укрепването на връзките между тях; твърдо подкрепя постигането на всеобхватно Европейско информационно общество, което предлага растеж, работни места, както и по-добри услуги и качество на живот;
Recalls the importance of strengthening the capacities within the knowledge triangle of education, research and innovation and of reinforcing the links between them; strongly supports the achievement of an inclusive European information society providing growth and jobs as well as better services and quality of life;
Вярва, че работният потенциал на новаторските предприятия може да помогне на ЕС да преодолее известни затруднения, предизвикани от глобализацията; подкрепя създаването на административни условия, които са в полза на предприятията, облекчаването на административната тежест за малките и средни предприятия чрез подобряване на качеството на законодателството и неговото опростяване;
Believes that the employment potential of innovative enterprises could help the EU to overcome certain difficulties posed by globalisation; supports the creation of an administrative environment that is favourable to enterprises, and the lightening of administrative burdens on SMEs, through improvement of the quality of legislation and its simplification;
Признава важността на устойчивостта, конкурентоспособността и сигурността на енергоснабдяването, както и енергийната ефективност на икономиката на ЕС; посочва важността на новата енергийна политика, разработена от ЕС и която има за цел борбата с климатичните изменения и усилването на енергийната сигурност и конкурентоспособност на ЕС.
Recognises the importance of sustainability, competitiveness and security of the energy supply as well as of the energy efficiency of the EU economy; points to the importance of the new energy policy which the EU has developed, which is the goal of combating climate change and reinforcing the EU's energy security and competitiveness.
Смята, че в съответствие приоритета, зададен в Годишната стратегия за политика за борба с изменението на климата и с новата енергийна политика на ЕС е необходимо повече служители в Комисията да работят в областта на енергетиката, за да може наред с другото да се попълни адекватно персонала от сътрудници за наблюдение на енергийния пазар и за работата, свързана с повишаване на енергийната ефективност.
Considers that, in accordance with the priority given in the Annual Policy Strategy to combating climate change and to the EU's new energy policy, more Commission staff are needed to work in the field of energy, among other things to adequately staff the new energy market observatory and the work being done in connection with improving energy efficiency.
The Preliminary Draft Budget for 2008 is the second of the new multiannual financial framework, which will guide EU finances up to 2013.
