Takes the view that the fragmentation of standards on a worldwide scale is not desirable; recommends that the Commission, the Member States and the various European and international standard setting bodies consider an ‘international-comes-first’ approach whenever possible in setting new standards;
Припомня приетото от Комисията определение за отворени стандарти, съгласно което (i) стандартът се приема и поддържа от организация с нестопанска цел и неговото продължаващо разработване се осъществява въз основа на открити процедури за вземане на решения, които са достъпни за всички заинтересовани страни; (ii) стандартът се публикува и неговите спецификации са предоставят безплатно или на номинална цена; (iii) интелектуалната собственост, т.е. възможните съществуващи патенти, на (части от) стандарта неотменно се предоставя без плащане за право на ползване;

Agrees with the Commission that 'cluster policy' is an important part of Member States’ innovation policies and calls on actors, particularly at regional and local levels, to promote clusters, as well as innovation and technology centres, in urban centres and rural areas, in such a way that a balance can be reached between different regions; encourages the Member States to promote, in their countries, the creation of ‘knowledge regions’ and ‘clusters’ and EU-wide and cross-border cooperation, and also to promote cooperation with experts from third countries; stresses in this context the importance of creating governance structures so as to improve cooperation between different actors in a cluster and asks for clusters to be directed also to cross-border activities, building notably on the experience of Euroregions, which possess established cross-border structures and social networks;
Отбелязва инициативата на Комитета на регионите, целяща да свърже в мрежа регионите в рамките на интерактивна платформа на местните общности, чиято цел е сравнение и обмен на придобития опит в рамките на изпълнението на Лисабонската стратегия;
Notes the initiative of the Committee of the Regions to set up a network of regions within an interactive platform of local communities aiming to compare and exchange experience acquired while implementing the Lisbon Strategy;
Призовава Комисията да упражнява контрол над иновационните процеси в регионите и да разработва общи иновационни показатели в целия ЕС, които ще демонстрират по-добре готовността на държавите-членки и на регионите за иновации;
Calls on the Commission to monitor the innovation processes in the regions and to develop common innovation indicators across the EU that will better demonstrate the eagerness of the Member States and regions to innovate;
Настоятелно призовава държавите-членки активно да повишават авторитета на научната кариера, като насърчават съществуващите стимули и предоставят награди като „Декарт“, „Аристотел“ и награди за млади учени и като предлагат атрактивни условия, за да привлекат най-блестящите и най-иновативните учени в Европа;

Счита, че с цел да се осигури по-широко обществено одобрение на стоки и услуги, които са плод на изследователска дейност, са необходими подходящи инструменти за защита на потребителите, които да повишат нивото на доверие и безопасност;
Considers that, in order to secure wider public acceptance of goods and services which are the fruits of research, suitable consumer protection instruments are required to improve levels of confidence and safety;
Подчертава, че иновациите са средство за подобряване на качеството на живот на европейските граждани, а не са самоцел; счита, че затова конкуренцията и либерализацията на пазара на стоки и услуги спомагат за постигането на тази цел по отношение на иновациите, но трябва да се съпътстват от мерки за контрол и защита на гражданите, където това е оправдано в интерес на обществото;
Stresses that innovation is a means of improving the quality of life of EU citizens and not an aim in itself; accordingly takes the view that, while competition and the liberalisation of goods and services contribute to achieving that objective in terms of innovation, they must be accompanied by monitoring and consumer protection provisions, where justified by the public interest;
Счита, че иновационните дейности следва да бъдат по-добре подкрепени чрез информационни кампании и подчертава необходимостта от обмен на информация, получена от завършени проекти; в същото време препоръчва да се извлече поука от неправилните процедури при неуспешните проекти и да бъде отправено предупреждение за подобни грешки в други региони на ЕС;
Considers that innovation activities should be better supported through information campaigns and emphasises the need to share information obtained from completed projects; at the same time recommends that lessons be learnt from incorrect procedures in unsuccessful projects and that warnings be given against similar mistakes in other regions of the EU;
Призовава Комисията, държавите-членки, регионалните и местни органи да гарантират всеобщ достъп до професионална дейност, основана на информационните и комуникационни технологии, за да улеснят електронното обучение и работата по електронен път като цяло;
