Likewise, in order to lay the foundations for future economic growth, the EU should nurture new, sustainable industries and innovative small and medium-size enterprises – not cut funding for important research programs like Horizon 2020. Innovations in renewable energy, for example, are essential to improving energy security and preserving Europe’s standing as a global leader in combating climate change.
类似地，为了给未来经济增长打好基础，欧盟应该培养新的可持续产业和创新性中小企业——而不是削减诸如Horizon 2020这样的重要研究计划的投入。比如，可再生能源方面的创新是改善能源安全、保证欧洲在抗击气候变化方面作为全球领袖的关键。可再生能源是世界增长最快的部门，因此这方面的投资可以对未来GDP增长和就业创造产生重大影响。
