Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] But I would also like to thank Vice-Presidents Neelie Kroes and Siim Kallas from the Commission, who are with us here today. Their contributions towards innovation in the digital and transport sectors just go to show how innovation applies across our economy, touching upon many areas which impact on our daily lives; and why - as we look ahead - we need to continue to mainstream innovation, so that we can maximise growth and improve our living standards across the board, through science and innovation.
