"The joint motion has a number of some positive elements, including highlighting the importance of links and coordination between cohesion policy and other EU policies and funds; stating that financial instruments must be complementary to grants; calling on the Commission and Member States to pay greater attention to the needs of SMEs; and criticising some aspects of budget restraints on Horizon 2020.
However, the JMR also promotes some of the negative aspects still attached to EU funding, such as public-private partnerships and a call for strengthening the single market, and ignores many other important concerns.
My group tabled an alternative motion, which addresses some of these issues, including: the insufficient funding available under Horizon 2020; the need to prevent cohesion policy and Horizon 2020 from being used for military research; and problems caused by austerity policies and fiscal constraints on authorities preventing effective co-financing of funds.
Therefore, while there were some positives contained within this resolution, the failure to address the key concerns meant that I was obliged to abstain on this vote."@en1
