On the same topic, when this committee and the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection hosted a meeting in Dublin Castle during Ireland's Presidency on Horizon 2020, the issue of red tape came up. I remember a representative from another EU member state asking if there would be as much red tape as there is now with FP7 in the context of getting access to research and innovation funds. If there is less red tape, that will be a positive development.
