Mr. Pat Kelly:

I should just add that on the €1.25 billion target, our attitude is that the target is ambitious but achievable. As the Secretary General has said, it is more than double what we had for the previous programme, FP7, but yet the budget for Horizon 2020 is not more than double the FP7 budget. That shows, if one likes, the confidence we have based on the experience of our performance in FP7 to pitch it at quite a high level of €1.25 billion. All of the key Departments and agencies have been requested to take a much more strategic approach and to engage research centres, higher education institutes and universities and have each of them develop their own strategies. From each framework programme we take a more active hands-on approach as the budget justifies. A budget of €79 billion is a substantial amount. What we have to remember is that it is competitive funding. There is no allocation for member states. We all have to compete for it on the basis of excellence.
