Geoghegan-Quinn: 3% target for R&D should stay

Raising R&D budgets is the route to recovery and the EU target of the 3% of GDP target must be maintained, said Commission Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, speaking in Brussels today.

Setting out her stall as the new Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science in the first major speech since her Parliamentary hearings, the Commissioner left listeners in no doubt of her views on maintaining targets.
