Allow me briefly to underline the distinguishing feature of this summit: it served to introduce "Europe of Knowledge" as a major new project for the EU in the wake of the projects to create a single market and a single currency; as a result, it made research, education, training, innovation and new technologies new strategic objectives for the Union.
Un grand chantier s'annonce pour l'Union l'Europe de la Connaissance faisant ainsi de la recherche, de l'éducation de la formation, de l'innovation et des nouvelles technologies, des nouveaux objectifs stratégiques de l'Union.
