Read the Appeal to the President of the European Commission Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker sent by the ECI New Deal 4 Europe European Committee on November 22.

One reason to support the ECI New Deal 4 Europe: to invest in research and innovation.

Rosetta, a European success

Rosetta Philae 12 November 2014. The successful landing of Philae on the comet 67P - a half billion kilometers away from the Earth - and the successful mission of Rosetta, are undoubtedly a success not only for the European Space Agency (ESA) but also a bit for the whole Europe, which is welcome in this moment of deep economic and political crisis. Probably, there could have been no better way to celebrate ESA's 50 years and to achieve a project launched in 1984 with the programme Horizon 2000. At the time, over 2000 European scientists set the priorities for the twenty years to come, among which there was the exploration of comets, explains the French astrophysicist Roger-Maurice Bonnet on Le Monde. The programme Rosetta, which was conceived to be financially autonomous, writes Bonnet,

constituted a revolution in the working methods both of the scientific community, and of the ESA and of its member states. The programme became a benchmark both for Europe and for the rest of the world. Once accepted, it gathered the interest of Americans, Japanese, Russians, and later on, of Chinese.

The key was in the small budget, which "required the scientists and entrepreneurs to think outside the box to find less expensive solutions while obtaining the same result, or better." The European scientific community "gathered around this programme, which ensured an unquestionable international standing, making of it an unavoidable high-level partner." The success of Rosetta and Philae demonstrate that when Europeans manage to overcome the limits of national interest to focus on a common objective, they can go far. Scientists managed to do this. Who knows if their leaders will take the example.

Our citizens' initiative demands "a EU special program of public investments for the production and financing of European public goods" such as research and innovation.

Current news: the Juncker's plan risks seriously to be uneffective

[...] Mr Emmanuel Macron - French economy minister in an interview released to Financial Times - said France wanted the EU to come up with €60bn-€80bn in cash as part of the overall plan – far more than is currently under consideration – to directly finance investments or provide equity capital for projects. “I’m convinced we need real money and we need to use it in an effective way,” he said. He proposed a new independent entity to oversee what some are calling a “New Deal”. The overseer would increase the fund’s firepower by raising debt on the markets to fund investments in projects such as [fibre optic networks and renewable energy]. It would also set up panels of European experts to select projects after a competitive process. But EU officials briefed on Mr Juncker’s plan said there was unlikely to be any new money. Instead, only existing public resources will be used, with the hope that this will attract private capital to bolster the fund. Although the commission is touting a €300bn investment plan, officials say this refers to its expected impact on the overall economy – not the amount of public and private money that will be raised.

Mr Macron, who sought British chancellor George Osborne’s backing in a meeting on Tuesday, said current plans risked being too reliant on “fake money”. He said a 2012 EU growth plan based on soft loans – strongly backed by Mr Hollande at the time – had not been fully effective. [...]
