Rather, it arises from the very promising idea of working together. If there is one area where the European Union was in need of stimulus to integrate policies, broaden the area of cooperation, coordination and synergies, it is the area of research, development and technological innovation. Consequently, the European Research Area is one of the key concerns of the present College of Commissioners. Commissioner Busquin is to be credited with launching and developing such an ambitious idea.
C'est la raison pour laquelle l'initiative de l'Espace européen de recherche s'avère être l'un des axes centraux du collège des commissaires et c'est à l'actif du commissaire Busquin qu'il faut mettre la promotion et l'élan de cette idée tellement ambitieuse.
