Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] We have already a good example of such joint commitment on which we can build. In line with the recommendations of the first KET high-level group, we have reacted quickly in 2012, public authorities and industry together, and committed to finance pilot-line projects in microelectronics, via the ENIAC Joint Undertaking, for a total amount of EUR 700 million. We even plan higher investments for 2013 and our plan is to continue in Horizon 2020. This is the sort of joint commitment -industry, Commission and Member States- which demonstrates the credibility of our engagement for growth and jobs in Europe.
