Considers that the largely horizontal approach of the measures proposed is not by itself sufficiently adequate; calls therefore on the Commission to further flesh out its Action Plan with a view to targeting the proposed measures on the basis of the size and the sector of the industry and to give by that means a more precise, transparent and previsible character to the actions proposed; stresses that such a targeting of the Action Plan to different managerial and technological backgrounds is indispensable with a view to better involving SMEs in the innovation process and to making research results more accessible and exploitable to all types of businesses; stresses that more precise and targeted measures are mainly needed in the elabo ...[+++]ration -at Member States', regional and Community level- of long-term cooperation networks between industry, research and public authorities, as well as concrete cooperation schemes like e.g. science parks with a clear attribution of funds; calls on the Commission to elaborate more targeted measures not only for SMEs, but also for the main growth sectors;
