Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Underlines that the success rate after the first 100 calls of Horizon 2020 reaches 14 % (comparing to 20 % of the overall FP7). Only 20 % of the budget targeted for SMEs was allocated (5 % contribution from the SME instrument), 38 % of the successful candidates were newcomers and very few move from the 1st to the 2nd phase. This leads to the conclusion that the second and third phase, which support a feasibility study to become real innovation and its further commercialisation, loose from their potential. In addition, the role of SMEs must be strengthened.
