Parliament green-lights Horizon 2020 package

摘要

MEPs largely voted in favour of the six reports that form Horizon 2020, the new framework programme for research, development, innovation and education. "After two years of intensive work, we can be proud of the agreement that has been reached," declared Teresa Riera Madurell (S&D, Spain), one of the six rapporteurs. One of the reports (on the European Atomic Energy Community) had already been adopted on 19 November; the five remaining items of the package were approved on 21 November.
